Mystery India Coin?
« on: July 25, 2013, 06:55:13 pm »
This coin was found among some other current coins in an old box we had.  I'm not sure whether it is a token of some sort, or currency.  Taking one look at the coin made me think "Taj mahal" but after looking up the Taj Mahal it looks nothing like it.  Any help identifying, valuing, or giving possible history of this coin would be much appreciated.  Thanks!
