Vic, the second coin of yours is the one with the Palm in Box type with the states name Lu - Na - Va - Da written around it. The Right image shows the rulers name Ma - Va - Si with the dual date 42:86 above it. 42 is 1942 AD and 86 is VS 1986.

The Third coin posted by Dr N Sreedhar is a similar coin as your second one with the Lion type over struck on it. It is a nice one with both strikes clearly seen.

Thank you for your detailed description Amit, here is one of mine with a Tiger, there are lots of fakes of this type and this could possibly be one as it's not one of my coins collected decades ago

Not a Tifer, Vic. It is a Lion.

I agree that fakes flooded the market some time back but this one does not look fake.
