<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismat, post: 1288037, member: 15019&quot;]The first one is a modern &quot;false shekel&quot;, as Taxidermist mentioned. </p><p>The second is a Hindu temple token, the age for which is very difficult to determine. These temple tokens were made the same way in the 1800&#039;s all the way up past the 1950&#039;s. The date on it is 1804, but this is a VS (Vikrama Samvat) date that converts to around 1748 by our Gregorian calendar. However, this date is a tribute date, either to an important person or event and has no bearing on the actual age of the token.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
