<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DrJCPhilip, post: 1328401, member: 19178&quot;]All temple tokens from India that bear East India Company name with Half or One Anna (monetary value) are recent forgeries. On one side they purport to be be Religious Tokens while on the other side they purport to be monetary coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>These are what is called Tokoins (a *******ized synthesis between tokens and coins), first produced by a business enterpriser to take advantage of the growing numismatic market in India.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Tokoins are discussed in detail in my forthcoming book Indian Religious Tokens and Tokoins. The book will be announced at <a href="http://www.IndianCoins.org" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.IndianCoins.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.IndianCoins.org</a>&nbsp; (The site already contains some free eBooks on other topics)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
