First, I'm not sure if these qualify as ancients as I'm just not sure about them. But if anyone could help me ID these two I would be grateful as always. Thanks so much.
Thank you. I have several of these so I will know where to post the rest. Is there any chance of getting an approximate date?
Well, as the other side is in Devanagari it is hard to guess this would be Latin letters. The "V" under the GEO is not a V actually. It is a Katar, a ceremonial Indian dagger. Here a similar type in silver.
And now I have just learned something else new and I thank you again. After having enlarged these for the post, would the first coin be from 1956 or 1856? I just noticed what appears to be a 56 on the one side once orientated better.
Your first coin is a bit to western for me to know much about. Just one clue, if you had not figured this out yet; the coat of arms is that of a cardinal.
