[QUOTE="Ian, post: 202519, member: 283"]Many thanks for taking the time to look at these for me. Looks like I didn't do too badly. Coin #2 was the one that really had me tearing my hair out. Strangely enough, I originally had it noted as KM133 but later changed it to 131 for some reason I can't remember. :) Since my last post i've been looking at four Junagadh coppers I have. They all seem to be the same type but all subtly different. They have me completely stumped due to the poor descriptions in KM and also the fact that I simply can't make any sense of either the scripting or the dates (at least in terms of what the dates are supposed to be). Interestingly, the die alignments are all over the place with these coins too. On the first the flan is slightly oversized and as a consequence has been cupped in the striking. Consequently, it doesn't scan all that brilliantly on a flat bed scanner, producing a fuzzy image reverse. It's probably KM45.something or another.
