Described as Sikh Empire [решено]

hi,

This coin was described as Sikh Empire, but I can't see it there, i have searched all coins for all countries with this weight and also all Indian coins but am stumped. Am I looking in the right area? thanks for any help

Hi,

Thanks for this, I always struggle with Indian coins, but as I want to increase my number of issuers, it's a easy place to get numbers.

is there a way of spotting Imitations and is it a modern imitation or an old one, in which case it is worth having even if it isn't genuine

Thanks
Stewart

It's a contemporary imitation and there is no easy way to identify them but generally they are crude in design and calligraphy. In my opinion it is worth keeping.
