Hello! Can someone tell me more about this coin? It is: silver/4.55g./round 14mm./4mm. thickness 

Many thanks also for rarity & collectable value! 

Look under india,northern dynastys,gadhayia

Hi! Thanks,Alexius73,for your message and kind help but… I already found for my own,on the net,the same link you gave me but(again) there is ''story'' of 2 (in general) big types of such coins: one,older,made of silver (the Sassanid drachma) and the other,newer,indian Gujarat imitations of the first one,made of billon. I couldn't determine what is mine and so,also,evaluate it.

Who can help for sure?!

Here's an article on the long evolution of the Gadhaiya paisa. You may be able to match yours somewhere in this series.

These are later imitations minted by other dynasties like Gujarat, Malwa, Kandesh, Bahmanis, Solankis, Paramara and Yadavas.

Your coin is from the period of Vaghela dynasty of Gujarat. These are very common coins and can be found for approx. 10$

I made some art with Gadhayia coins for my whatsapp group when writing about those coins.
