NumisMattic2200 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Coin is 14 mm in diameter. I had this one up on another forum but they couldn't say which fraction of the Mewar Rupee they thought it was. I can't Google it so i don't know if it is Mewar or what so can anyone tell me exactly what this is? Diam above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NumisMattic2200 Posted April 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 What is the weight of the coin. (1) Also your first image is inverted so please correct it. (2) from Shariq Khan http://www.coinsindia.info (1) Isn't the diameter of the coin sufficient to identify which value? (2) Because you can't read upside down, or simply stand on your head like I can, here goes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturzny Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Diameter is not enough, because there is considerable variation in planchet thickness. But I think this is too big to be an 1/8 or 1/16, probably a 1/4. If so, should weigh between 2.5 and 3.0 g. And it is Mewar, Udaipur mint.

NumisMattic2200 Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 OK that's an adequate reason for to rush downstairs and put it on the electronic scales - they are not accurate enough to measure 0.1 of a gram so it comes out at 3.0 grammes!

NumisMattic2200 Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Is it a dumb question to ask which is the obverse? Oh and the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shariq Khan Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 The weight of this type of Mewar coin(1/4 th Rupee) is 2.6 gms with diameter 14mm or 15 mm and the weight of 1/8th Rupee is 1.3 gms with diameter 11 mm or 12 mm. So your coin is definitely 1/4th Rupee of Mewar (Udaipur Mint) of Swarupshahi Series minted during 1858 AD - 1920 AD during the rule of Fateh Singh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
