Princely State of Nawanagar (Indian States) identification? [Risolto]

Pubblicazioni di 4 • visto 92 volte

This coin here was sold to me as being 1 Dokdo, 1850, Nawanagar. Visually, it appears to be N#48330, but the main concern I have is the weight. Here on Numista, N#48330 is listed as being around 6.4g, but my coin is almost double that at 12.5g. I was hoping to find help confirming it's validity, finding it's Numista page, or gathering information to create it a page if it doesn't have one currently. Below is any relevant info that might help:

 

-Smells very strongly like copper

-Is about 20mm at it's longest point

-Is about 4mm thick

-Weighs 12.5g

-Has an alignment of about 10 o'clock

-I've bought many coins from this seller previously, so I don't believe it is a fake (Or at the very least I don't believe he knows it's a fake if it is)

 

Any help is extremely appreciated!!

 

Hello, I think at that weight it would be 1 Dhinglo (1 1/2 Dokdo)

Yes, I agree with @gabefrog101, a Dhinglo, Nawanagar, Shri Jamji, frozen date (9)78, KM#3, finer style ca. 1850 AD

Here's an example from Zeno that matches yours pretty well.

It should be noted that Nawanagar minted coins (especially the Dokdo) without much difference for at least two centuries with frozen dates, so it's fortunate to be able to date this coin more precisely based on style. 

 

Here's a similar coin in Numista. I don't believe the listed date of 1701 is meaningful. 

 

N#77004

That looks to be it, thank you very much!
