Hi, who can tell me more detailed information on this coin?
Copper, 13mm, 1.9g.
I read about Google a text that was presented where a coin of this type of VIJAYANAGAR from 1509-29, unfortunately without a picture.

Thanks, Dietmar

Hi, Dietmar!
According to the weight of your coin, it is "kasu" from Viajayanagara Empire (1336-1672).
Please check this site for pictures and additional information: http://www.vijayanagaracoins.com/htm/catalog.htm
I saw coins that look just like yours there.

Hi Illya,
Many thanks for the link, this is an excellent page of information, something I wanted.
Since I was on the right track, now I can categorize the coin in this period: Krishnadevaraya (1509-1530).
And the nice thing, I have found any information on this page to another coin, so that I can now fit this coin as well.
