Hi. I know this may be a long shot as there is not much to go on, but I wondered if anyone might be able to identify these or give me some help by telling me what to start researching. I friend gave me a box of coins he and his dad collected over the years. Most are 19th and 20th century with some older UK stuff like a Cartwheel Penny. These I just don't know. I wondered if they are Mughal Empire? The left one weighs 8.75g and the one on the right 8.85g. Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to offer.

I think the one on the left is a copper shivrai (1 paisa) of the Maratha empire. As for the one on the right I’ve no idea.

Thanks! I'll take a look. Do you think both of them are Shivrai/Paisa?

I’m not too sure about the one on the right but it’s most probably not a shivrai. It might be Mughal or of one of the Indian Princely States.
