[QUOTE="bart, post: 675928, member: 5580"]It seems to me these coins are real, but plated for use in jewelry. Both are coins of a very small denomination. The first coin is a farthing (1/4 of a penny or 1/960 of a pound), struck in bronze. The hole and the gold-plating suggests it has been used for jewelry. The same applies to the 1/12 anna (1/192 of a rupee): it is clear this small coin has been part of a bracelet. Probably silver-plated. Like the farthing, this coin was struck in bronze.[/QUOTE]
