[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 12947, member: 669"]The denomination side of both coins has a distinct 19th Century look and feel, but the other sides don't resemble anything found in the India sections of the 17th, 18th or 19th Century Krause volumes, and there is nothing like either coin referred to at this historical look at [URL=http://www.med.unc.edu/~nupam/eastindia1.html]East India Company coinage[/URL]. I can't find the denomination "Anna" in Krause for any date earlier than AH1177 (1863), and the word does not appear in the 17th Century volume's index to denominations. From this [URL=http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/southasia/History/British/EAco.html]UCLA historical discussion[/URL] it seems that the dates on both pieces are long prior to the time the East India Company could have had the authority to issue coinage. I could be wrong, but IMHO they are fantasy pieces of indeterminate age. Their source certainly doesn't give me any reason to doubt that conclusion.[/QUOTE]
