Friend asked for help with ID and I'm not the guy to ask...

Definitely Nepalise! Not sure which.
Probably not Nepalese Ben (the script is not Devnagari) , this might be one that Kenny can ID...
I should have looked closer! Woops! x.
You owe me 9 minutes of looking through Nepalese coins, that I will never, ever get back. :D
I can say immediately it's from Bhutan.
Ha you guys are funny.

It's a fake Jilin (Kirin) 3 Ch'ien (Y#170). It has nothing to do with Nepal or Bhutan. I'd check the weight and all the other specifications just to make sure it's not real. It weighs 10.8 grams.

The first picture has Chinese seal script and the second had the same but with either Manchu or Mongolian around.

They're the same thing. Except Mongolia uses Cyrillic now.

9 minutes! I could tell you which posts not to read!
The script might be the same but the language is not, as its connection with Mongolian is not satisfactory connected or other Altaic languages.

Oh the coin looks cast to me as well.

That's true for all Asian languages.

For example, 大 (big) is dai, da, dae, and day in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese respectively. They use the same script, which is Chinese characters, but they sound different, in some shape or form.

The Manchurian script is the Mongolian one BUT with circles and dots

Thanks guys, I'll just search the catalogue on my own from now on. ;)

This is close enough for a visual, I'll tell him it's probably a fake of something similar, that will do.
Ask him to use a magnet and check the rims.

To me it looks like nickel. The tael looks similar but it's not the exact coin. I think they have an image of the coin on Numismaster.

That's ok, thanks. I pointed him in the right direction with 1 and 1/2 tael links, that's enough from me.
