Recieved all 6 pieces 10mm-11mm about 15 years ago in a large lot of mixed world coins . The dealer said he had no idea what they were. After many searches neither do i. Can anyone help with their identification.
Is that Hindi on the lower right one? I think the trident/trishula is a symbol of Hinduism. (Shiva wields one on the end of a staff.) If so, I wonder if they are temple tokens or some other religious medal rather than coins. You might try the ancients forum as these look rather crudely made.
I have searched temple tokens ( medals, amulets, and charms) without any luck. I have about 30 temple tokens old and new in my collection. I also felt these coins could be related to this collecting area also despite their small size. My gut tells me they might come out of India(trident, arabesque, size).The obverses and reverses seem mismatched and differ in style.They came to me in one lot and I have assumed that they originated from the same source.I also have not ruled out that they could have been made by a modern day die engraver and have searched for them as fantasy and fakes without a trace.
