    welcome to the forum......They look like nice pleasing little coins...silver, I assume?
    Funny how at quick glance they can look like Durotriges stater type coins.......nearly two thousand years/miles apart!

    Thanks to all for your help on this one! They are indeed Travencore Chuckram's (Rama Varma IV 1860 - 1880).

    My understanding is that these are frequently forged as tourist mementos. You might want to contact Pankaj Tandon at CoinIndia for more information.
