unknown coin help please [solved]

V E I G looks like netherland east indies -java-BRITISH OCCUPATION but i cannot find

British India pice, Bombay Presidency. What is the weight? 1 pice should be about 11 grams, 1/2 pice about 5.5 grams... etc.

Indeed Bombay presidency.
Can be 1/2 pice.

Date about 1790-1830
The die was made for a bigger coin and used also on smaller flans, depending on the value
Here is the complete picture on a similar coin:

Hi guys- thankyou for your help-looks right (bombay) but the weight is all wrong-my digital scales have rounded to 4gms, so a long way out---(maybe forgery)--trying to join the 300 country club ,so this one does not help me,as i already have Indian states covered

Murray

The documented actual weight range for the 1/2 pice as per Baldwin's is.. 4.77 grams - 5.29 grams. In my opinion the coin is not a fake. The fakes I've seen for this type are very crude and lines in the bale mark are rarely straight

From baldwin's...

Hi thanks for input- (I hope you are right about not being fake) this coin is very crude especially in the edges with lumps all over the place--I will take to a jeweler to be weighed- what value does Baldwins put on it? Murray

Baldwin's is outdated when it comes to valuations... this is what NGC has.. I'm not sure this is accurate either

The higher value coins of this type are centered and have the date showing at the bottom

checked with jeweler- 10.7 grams- murray

1 pice. Probably worth around $10+
