Please help me identify this Indian coin [solved]

3 posts • viewed 122 times

Aside from that it is a gold coin, I have no further information.

I do not have the dimensions or its weight, just these photos.

 

 

I have tried to do an image search on Numista but it does not throw up any relevant results.

A search for gold coins throws up this as the nearest match: N#56739

But the photo does not look like debased gold, while the Mashaka - Gangeya Deva Kalachuris of Tripuri is a debased gold coin.

 

I understand that without dimensions and weight it is difficult, but any guidance will be highly appreciated.

I think your attribution is correct. Here are a couple more examples

I don't think it's possible to judge debasement of gold from photos very well. I think some coins similar to this are 9 carat (37.5%) gold but appear gold. 

Thank you for confirmation of the attribution and the examples from zeno. This is of tremendous help. 

I am trying to get the dimension and weight to confirm the coin.
