Hi, I got this coins on ebay, please help me to identify this coin. I know its from India before 1947. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Harry. http://img258.imageshack.us/my.php?image=scan0003px1fd1.jpg http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/1480/scan0005zm1xv6.jpg
Thats a real tough call mate....I can't even read the year correctly to look up anywhere. I guess its dated 1214 SH which is 1836 in Gregorian. I'll keep looking unless anyone answers. P.S. The denomination is 1/5th something.
It's a 1 Keping of Malacca, AH1247 1831, KM# 8.1 Malacca is listed under Malay Peninsula in the current Krause.
