Help identifying an India Princely State coin (Newanagar?)

3 сообщений • просмотрено 99 раз
This coin is silver, about 15mm and 4.8 grams. The obverse looks like Nawanagar KM# 10, but the reverse is very different. Any ideas?

There are several silver Kori coins from Nawanagar in the Zeno database that match yours

All of these are identified as KM#5

Neither your coin nor these match the photo of KM#5 in my book "South Asian Coins and Paper Money 2013". However, there is considerable variability in the coins of Nawanagar, many of which were produced over a long period of time, so I would go with the KM #5. The date is frozen at (9)78 and there is a depiction of a katar (traditional fighting knife) at about the 5 o'clock position on the second photo.
Thank you very much for all this great information. Very helpful. And very interesting. Regards, Drew
