Hi
I am asking for help at identifying this Sikh coin. Diameter cca 19,5 mm, weight cca 7 g.


Thanks on any help
Hello 🤖
I tried searching by image and I found the following results:
See all the results: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?ct=coin&im1=636c0959e41af.jpg&im2=636c095a02dfc.jpg
Could your item be one of these?

It seems this is beyond the abilities of the Numista robot.
Looking through Zeno, I found some examples similar though not exactly identical to your coin.

These are all described as imitations of a Sikh paisa, struck at Loharu
hello wouldn't it be more like 1 paisa Amritsar?
Here for comparison are the Sikh 1 paisas from Amritsar
They don't seem to match as well. Though it would stand to reason that, if the above-cited coins are imitations, there should be an original similar to them and to the coin in question here. I just didn't see it in Zeno, but it may well exist.
Ok, I was asking the question for Amritsar, on google image, there are similar ones.
Hi
thank you all on outstanding and fast reply. I would also not go in the direction of "Amritsar". My amateurish feeling says, the closed lotus is different, my coin has singular dots (as can be seen), as for the open lotus flower on other side, which Amritsar has none, also has distinct three petals and so on.
My closest pick would be:

What bothers me is “Sikh Empire, Imitation of Sikh Paisa probably struck at Loharu”. Can anyone indicate if this means, this is some cheap copy or was despite that coin in actual use at the time in Sikh population? Further more, if the coin is genuine, does it need to be opened in new Numista page (Empire of Sikh KM#7 series is not fully populated yet)?
Thanks again…
