Rupee fraction? [solved]

6 posts
Hello everyone!

I would like some help identifying this one, it has 1.4g

Thank you!
The denomination is ⅛ rupee. Both Jaipur and Kishingarh princely states coins have similar plants to the one on your coin (it's possible some other states may have these too), but in a quick look I didn't see a match to yours. Perhaps this can get you started in the right direction, and perhaps someone more knowledgeable will be able to attribute your coin.
Coin from IPS Jodhpur

Yes, good call, Parimal.

Looks like this one

Struck somewhat offset on the die compared with the Numista example, and second photo is inverted.
They used the die of a 1 rupee coin on smaller flans
So ID-ing is sometimes difficult.
Except for this coin
