Hello,

I got these two coins - and I have absolutely no clue what it is:
A) 4.0 g, 20.0 mm diameter


B) 3.8 g, 20.0 mm diameter

One side (left images) look very similar for both coins.

Has anybody an idea ?

Thanks for your help!

Yes, Chola staters, but not from Rajaraja Chola.

Here's a thread with photos to identify this type of coin:

https://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=323841

The first one is of Parakrama Bahu II, 1236-1271 AD

The second one is of Sahasa Malla, 1200-1202 AD

For future attribution requests I recommend providing weight and dimensions also.
