I bought this coin two years back from Mysore. I liked the coin for the Krishna and Radha depiction. I bargained and bought this coin for Rs. 100.

But later when came back, googled and found out this one was a fake. But I have no hard feelings for this one, because I like this coin very much.

Whoever faked this coin, are perfect coin designers. Be aware of any such coins particularly with dates 1616, 1818 etc. East India Company has not issued such coins.

This is to inform any budding coin collectors like myself.
