[QUOTE="Brokencompass, post: 1331640, member: 17742"]hahah! You are welcome! This looks like what is called "Sikka Paisa". It has its value "One Pai Sikka" written in Bengali, Hindi and Persian which were the three major languages of the Bengal presidency which spanned mainly present day west bengal and Bangladesh. One the other side is written "In the 37th year of emperor Shah Alam" Based on the diameter and weight of the coin, the year of the coin may be determined. As far as I know, there is no year mentioned on the coin. Here are some nicer specimens of this coin [url]http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opac/search/cataloguesummary.html?_limit_=10&_function_=xslt&_resultstylesheet_=imagecs&_searchstring_=OB=%221%20Pai%20Sikka%22%20and%20AG='Coins%20and%20Medals[/url]' Here is a discussion that has a lot of information about this particular coin [url]http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/index.php?topic=5792.0[/url] Hope this helps...[/QUOTE]
