<p>[QUOTE="Poetheraven1, post: 1877058, member: 27225"]I recently acquired this coin from my coin dealers junk box. It appears to be very similar to the Nepal Rupee KM#726, but I am unable to read the inscriptions, and I'm not sure this has silver in it. There is only a date of 2009 which if my research is correct, equates to 1951, and is located at the bottom of the obverse. Its about 29.7 mm in diameter and weighs 10.8 g. Its a white metal and may be some alloy of aluminum. I think its too heavy to be pure aluminum. KM#726 says that that coin is 0.3330 silver 0.1186 oz ASW. What is ASW? It looks like it might have been reeded, but the reeding is mostly worn off. It is rather worn, so a new coin might have weighed a bit more. I appreciate any help or information anyone can provide.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> [ATTACH=full]317582[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]317583[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
