    So I didn't get much response on this coin last time? I found some Indian coins similar shape and thickness but the details..Not too familiar with this type..Any ideas?

    2.93 gr 11.4 X 12.2mm thicker..

    Certainly looks Indian. I see what appears to be a Damaru. (hour glass shape) on the reverse. This is the Drum that Shiva uses to keep the universe in rhythm.

    Probably from the Maghas of Kausambi dated to the mid 3rd century AD - the obverse second photo seems a bit indistinct but probably a bull walking left.


    Here some typical examples of the culture.
