[QUOTE="DonKedar, post: 133468, member: 5691"]Yesterday afternoon I rumaged though my closet in an effort to do some spring clearning. Inside a box I found a large bag of coins. Most of them were easy to identify, they were Rupies from India from the early 1900's. However, two coins were noticably different. They appeared to be similar coins, and while I wasnt able to scan them, I wrote down as much description as possible. To put it in reference, most of the coins I could identify were Indian and a few had what looked like Hindi or Arabic writing on them. Front- The profile of a fairly portly woman with the words 'RIMP HU BO REG M THERESIA D G' around the rim of the coin. Below her picture was a small 'S F' Back- An image of two eagles diverging from the neck with a large crest in the middle. There were two crowns above the crest and one crown on the head of each eagle. Again around the rim of the coin 'BURG CO TYR 1780 X ARCHID AVST DUX' There was some sort of inscription/design along the outside of the coin but I couldnt clearly see it. Between all of the words on the two sides of the coins there was a small dot similar to the one used in Microsoft Word when you turn on formatting view.[/QUOTE]
