1. 272-232 BC Mauryan Empire karshapana
2. 275-414 AD Gupta Empire AR
3. 980-1003 Didda Rani AE
I wonder if I should post such coins in the "ancients" area? Since they are not Roman or Greek I might feel out of place there.

Austria - 1861-A 4 Kreuzer

​

 

This one was brought to me in the market today - a nice upgrade for my Edward VII Half Crown sequence:

 

The second was issued in the name of king Kumaragupta, who ruled ca 415-455AD.
The third is not Queen Didda Rani, but King Harsha.
Nice specimen for the type !

 

Thanks, I have a lot to learn about these ancient Indian coins.
I mostly go by what the Indian sellers call them, and do some research on my own.

 

A lot of six Cuban pesos arrived today. This is one of them.

 

Are these colored by the Cuban mint or is this an aftermarket kind of thing?

 

Issued from the mint that way.

I found a Canadian one that is circulating coinage.

 

Came yesterday, 1801 silver rupee from Batavia, Z mark for mintmaster Zwekkert, Scholten # 528. "By the res. of June 20, 1801, 150,000 U.S. dollars and by that of Sep. 10, 1802, 26,250 Spanish dollars were converted into Rupees."

 

A group of German States coins on the way from there homeland. Should have them in hand any day. All are sellers pictures.

 

Arrived today from Hamburg Germany

German States Lubeck 1908 3 mark

 

I found a 1798 Naples/Sicily 5 Tornesi in near mint shape. I think it's worth about $100. It's not P mint, however. It's in better shape than this image!

 

Every time I think of that line, I almost cry at the thought of all those early US silver dollars being melted down to make #@$%ing rupees! What a waste!

 

My 5 Tornesi might be worth even more than I thought!
