† Coins of India. Princely States. Sik hs, Silver Rupee, Peshawar, VS 1892 (KM 98.2; Herrli 130.02.04), Copper pseudo-Sikh machine-struck Token, date “1840” (Herri 04.20), Copper Paisa, Amritsar, 11.45g, VS 1885 type (KM 7.2; Herrli 01.34), Paisa, leaf of uncertain attribution, and a Sri Ragunathji Paisa, Jammu (Herrli p.218). The Rupee very fine, the token practically as struck with some original lustre, the others about very fine to good very fine. (5) Although, in the past, the token has been described as a coin or as a pattern, it would appear to be nothing more than a token imitating certain aspects of Sikh coinage but with garbled inscriptions. It does, however, remain a curiosity and the present specimen is one of the best preserved seen by the cataloguer. The Jammu Paisa gives the appearance of a Sikh coin but was actually issued by the Doghra rulers. Part of the David Fore Collection of British Indian Coins. £140-180
