    Description

    The common Kali stylized motiff / Blank (a bump). 7mm, 0.33 grams. Scarce. Herrli 3.19.
    Probably a fouree - a contemporary gold-plated coin with a copper core.
    The gold on these coins is fairly debased, around 10-12 karats. This type combines the elements of the common Kali fanams, as well as Dutch Indian VOC and EIC fanams. It is probably a Dutch Indian issues produced at an unidentified secondary mint.
