Wow, thank you for the quick reply. How this obscure Indian coin made it to the grounds of small village church is anyone's guess? Rather than solving a mystery, you may have made an even bigger one for us. This certainly gives me more to read up about. Thanks again for the information!

Hello, I'm from Cornwall, and while helping my Uncle go through some of my Great Grandfathers effects, we found this coin. As the story went, my Grandfather took a job as a grave digger at a local church and found it. But no one could ever agree it's country of origin or even what the little character was on it. It looks somewhat like a Lion to me, but all searches for "Lion Coins" don't seem to throw up anything that looks like this. We would all be very grateful if the mystery could finally be solved.
