    Ancient? Wouldn't this coin be in the World Coin forum?
    It actually might be a little light because of the excessive wear. A date would help also I would think. At least you know a couple of things, The weight and the composition. Now we need to figure out denomination, no?
    I would strongly recommend trying Numista.com.

    It is more perfectly round, like a milled coin rather than an ancient. I suppose India is as good a guess as any, but unfortunately I'm stumped on this one.

    I will say that from the appearance of it and the roundness, I'd estimate it to be less than 500 years old.

    That's not much information, I know, but that's all I've got.

    While we're at it, is this coin the same? The knot pattern is losanges, not squares... upload_2024-12-12_20-11-11.png

    Fantastic. how fast!!! jtlartgallery I thank you very much for your time and identification.
    I looked some more, with your data and I find that there would seem to be many similarities and difficulty in differentiating it from AHMAD I . AE MANGHIR. MISR (EGYPT) MINT. 1603 - 1605 A.D.

    I think you might be right Ahmad I.I think the arabesque is similar for both rulers but the 2 lines at the top on the reverse point to Ahmad.

    Thank you very much. I got them (I have another similar one) but had forgotten it in a batch of “trinkets” to identify. I got into the Greek and Roman ones and then forgot about these. Now since I can't buy anything, I'm catching up with the ones that were left “hanging”.... thousand thanks, I leave them as Ahmad I, you know more about this than I do.

    By the way the one from GinoLR looks like the same type, but at this point of seeing databases, I think my eyes see what they want to see....

    A hug from Argentina.
