COIN
Unique ID: KENT-BEBE57
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
One of a pair of gold coins of uncertain date. The coins are gold and appear to have been cast. They are mostly identical, possibly having come from a mould. One side of the coins depicts a semi circular band with nine curvilinear lines radiating from it. The other side depicts an unclear zooamorphic figure. It has not been possible find a parallel for the coins and there has been a suggestion that they could be forgeries, though whether contemporary ones it is not possible to say. Another suggestion has been that they are of modern Indian origin.
The other coin is recorded as: KENT-BEA873
