The Western Kshatrapas Lead Coin

The Western Kshatrapas, or Western Satraps, (35-405 CE) were Saka rulers of the western and central part of India (Saurashtra and Malwa: modern Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh states). They were contemporaneous with the Kushans who ruled the northern part of the Indian subcontinent, and the Satavahana (Andhra) who ruled in Central India.

British India Error Coins (Brockage)

Brockage—A mirror image of the design impressed on the opposite side of the same coin. These errors are caused when a struck coin remains on either die after striking, and impresses its image into the next blank planchet as it is struck, leaving a negative or mirror image. Off-center and partial Brockage coins are worth less than those with full impression. Coins with negative impressions on both sides are usually mutilated pieces made outside the mint by the pressing together of coins.

Below are the coins, which I found from one of my dealer. So thought of sharing it. There is no concrete proof wither this coins are fake are not. Has it’s a error coin its very difficult to prove it. I have taken some opinion from experience coin collectors, most of the opinion is it’s a fake or replica, but when asked about the details of original and their availability, answer are not concrete. Kindly share me if you find any of the proof or records about it.

              8th July 2011 will be marked as a historic date on which the release of the first set of Indian Rupee coins with the all famous Rupee Symbol will take place. The new series of coins have been introduced with features at the edge, which make it convenient for easy recognition and distinction.
In a statement, the Finance Ministry said the security edging of new series of coins would be good for better recognition by visually challenged persons and will have improved counterfeit resistance. 
Last year the government had approved a symbol for the rupee that elegantly combines Devanagiri and Roman scripts to signify the rising strength, ambition and spread of the country’s currency in a fast globalizing economy. 

The rupee, introduced as a silver coin for transactions by emperor Sher Shah Suri, who built the Grand Trunk road in the 16th century, was till two decades ago largely unrecognized in global markets. But now, the Indian Rupee Symbol   joins the elite club of symbol-endowed a national currency that includes only 4 other currencies – US dollar, the British pound, the euro and the Japanese yen. 
The symbol designed by D Udaya Kumar, who has just joined the faculty of the department of design at IIT Guwahati, was selected from more than 3,000 entries that were evaluated by a jury of experts, government and RBI officials. 
As on date, approximately 100 million coins of all denominations have been minted.
