Real of Fake? Pala Empire from old India

3 posts • viewed 85 times

Hello experts!

 

Got this coin from Pala Empire direct from an indian dealer

 

(Vighrapala): N#47660

 

But theres something buzzing in my mind about the autenticity lately. Looking the ones on Zeno they always looks very “old”, used, and antique with some wear

Mine is bright shining and the border stills sharp even after 1000+ years old.

 

Size: 16-17mm

Weight: 3.7

 

Maybe the coins was just cleaned, but I would like to hear some opinions.

 

Thank you for any comment!

Looks like it has been rather harshly cleaned to me. There are some areas of the world were they like their coins shiny and India is one of those. I’ve talked to sellers about this before and they think we are just as whack for wanting a patina. 🤷‍♂️

Not an expert.

Coin looks too good to be true. Perfect inscription & nice round borders.

Worthy of a museum.
