A guy sent me these images and asked for ID and value. Is it a temple token of some kind? Nepalese? Any ideas? What is it? What is it used for? Thanks -- Paul R

An Indian temple token will probably be as far as you get.
In symbol in the centre of the Pentagram is "Ohm".
The script in the points of the pentagram is Telugu, that means it is from southern India, not from Nepal.
These things usually have no real commercial value.

These are modern fantasy tokens, normally sold to tourists outside monuments, mostly foreigners, at exorbitant prices, posing them as Old Ancient Indian Coins. The fair price should be around Indian Rupee 40-50 (USD 0.70 - 0.80).
