I am just returning to the hobby and I am going through some of my purchases.

It is approximately 28 mm in diameter. My scale is not working so well but it is stating that is either 8.5 grams or 10 grams.



Thank you for any help you can provide.

Thank you for the help. It definitely is an Indian Ramatanka, Hindu Temple Token and is most like, but not exactly, Ram Durbar - Ram-Lakshman, Date 557-4 - MM No. 354-D
