Spence Moderator United States 32709 Posts	Posted 10/27/2024 3:34 pm Any chance on you adding some clear, well-lit pics @numis? These are pretty hard to work with. There is a passing similarity in the design to this Half Anna from Hyderabad, but the weight and diameter are off. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces16631.html "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 4934 Posts	Posted 10/27/2024 4:18 pm At this size and diameter it's a 2 pai, 1904-1931, either of those three types. I don't know how to tell the difference between the types (the last two in particular look identical to me), and the date is absolutely illegible on those pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
