HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 519 Posts	Posted 07/28/2024 7:24 pm Can anyone help me with identifying or dating this item? Unusual in that diameter is small compared to the thickness, suggesting substantial trimming/shaving has taken place on the edges. Diameter: 19.6mm (at it's widest) Thickness: about 4mm (slightly tapered) Weight: 9.39 grams Report this Post to the Staff

Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 612 Posts	Posted 07/28/2024 10:49 pm Yes, Indian. Gwalior, Jayaji Rao Sindhia (1843-1886). https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=119165 Because your coin has the correct weight, I don't think it was shaved, and this would be unusual for a bronze coin. It was just a thicker planchet, and therefore smaller diameter, than the example in Zeno. Edited by Seeker55 07/28/2024 10:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
