ON THE INDIAN COIN CONTROVERSY

Scott Semans writes: “As I suspected from the bit you
quoted, they are discussing Ramatankas, or temple tokens
here, not actual coins issued by Sikh rulers.  The "dates"
carried on such pieces are fictitious or have numerological
significance; they do not represent year of issue.  We
can always hope that those who find attic treasures will
continue researching them past the point of learning
that they are considered ordinary by collectors - and
before they rush to the local newspaper to tout their finds!”
