Thank you Hobo for the super quick reply.

They are scans and bad ones too...cuz they look completely different from the scans.

I will try to post better quality photos (and not scans this time..lol) so that it will be better to judge.

I will also try to weigh them and post the weights but comparision would be difficult on my end cuz i dont think i will be able to get a real coin to compare to.

Thanks again.

Its a George V

 

We have some Indian coin collectors here who can help with that.

Post your photos and weights in a new thread so you get better exposure.

Good luck.

38 onwards should be a GVI..

 

well done that was a fake.

 

the 89 also looks odd

the rest i will need better pics. a lot of fakes were made but they were not made to deceive collectors but for ceremony purposes so its very easy to tell which ones are under the wing

 

Thankyou everyone for the overwhelming response.

I have taken Hobo's suggestion and posted a new thread.

The period during which British India coins were issued by the then king / emperior were as under :

Victoria Queen 1862, 1874,1875,1876
Victoria Empress 1877 to 1901
Edward VII 1903 to 1910
George V 1911 to 1922
George VI 1938 to 1947

This means that the date of the coin has to match the period of a particular Queen / King. If it does'n match, the coin is fake.

As also metal, weight etc to verify.

 

The value of original 1939 coin is 300 - 400 times the value of 1944 coin

 

It's definately a fake coins. George V coins have dates 1911 to 1922 only.

1939 means, the coin must have George VI on the obverse.

 

I have same 1939 goarge v silver coin
