Howdy! I am just starting to dive into ancient and medieval coins and have a lot to learn. It seems there are so many denominations, countries, languages, etc., etc., that googling coins to find out what they are is almost a nightmare. I recently purchased three ancient coins and would like help in identifying them to make sure I classify them correctly. The person I purchased them from didn't know what they were, so I am at square one (pun intended). I will post three separate threads, one for each coin, so as not to be confused. This first coin appears to be a copper Paisa from Wakhat Singhji of Lunawada State in India. Am I close? Is there a way to identify its age, authenticity, and value? Any help is appreciated! Thank you for your time.
Your attribution seems correct. These look quite variable, and were also overstuck on older coins. Not much commercial value. Although this coin looks ancient, it is actually from the end of the 19th century. It is in the Krause catalog under KM#10.
