To anyone who has a coin collection…
To anyone who knows about coins, the eras they were traded in and their history…

You get the drift, right? Any coin collectors out there who can identify this set?
The one side…
…and the other.
Any idea, peoples?

Just writing in to say that the coins look really interesting, and pretty old. But then that is my untrained and inexperienced eye. 🙂
Would googling help?
For once, Google was as clueless as I was 😉
Amazing collection and my inexperienced eye fails me here and at first, I thought it was chocolate:)
Hahahahaha.
I don’t know, but loved seeing them and would luv to know more 🙂
Me tooo 😀 When I have some light thrown on it, shall post again 🙂
super cool!!!! treasure them, may be visit to a museum will help out!
I know! So cool they are! 🙂
Mesopotamian civilisation.
What? 😛 Can’t I suggest a name that I feel?
Pffffffffffffffttt!
There is a coin collector in the second to none group. Are you a member in 220?
No, I’m not. Would you mind sharing my post to see if anyone has any idea? I’m not aware of this group. Thanks much in advance 🙂
These are way cool! Im going to share, hopefully someone through my social media can help.
I got this as a response:
“Well they’re punch coins. I’m 95% sure they’re from India (or thereabouts)… but India is a big country with a very long and diverse history so pinpointing a time period or region or kingdom or empire is way beyond me. (The other 5% would be middle east or near east but I find that unlikely.)”
Hope it helped, even a fraction!
Welcome to AlphabetWorld! 🙂
You are a doll! 🙂 Thank you so much. And yes, I’m in India, and I think they’re Indian coins too — unless they’re from the Indus era 😉 Very unlikely they’re middle eastern. I wish I could pin point to the time though.
Thanks so much for sharing 🙂 I hope someone else respond to you to 😀 Do share!
Reblogged this on Bullions And Coins.

I am no coin expert but I must say, this post made me travel back in time! Those must have been THE days! Sigh. 😀
Totally agree!
look at the 7th and 8th entry in this list.. the markings look similar to the coins you have got here.. http://en.numista.com/catalogue/indian-kingdoms-9.html
