Maldives hammered copper coins?

3 posts • viewed 89 times
I'm having trouble with this Maldives coin. It's about 1.6 grams, 10mm diameter, and 2mm thick. Pretty sure it's copper. By size and weight I was guessing KM# 27, but the text seems too different. Ideas? Thank you!

On your coin the date shows as 12X7 where the X is peculiar but could be a 5.

I think I found a match

As often happens the dies and striking positions on the flan are somewhat different, but the elements are there including the peculiar 5.
Thank you very much Seeker55. And thank you for introducing me to the Zeno.RU website -- a very useful resource. Drew
