GOLDEN CHANCE TO ACQUIRE A VERY RARE COLLECTABLE ITEM ( EARLIER DISPLAYED ON THIS SITE )
Very Rare Calcutta Mint 1900 -Medallion / Seal / Coin ?? - Please Guide
Hello,
I wonder if it’s possible to tell me what I have here, (please see the attached photographs).
As I cannot find anything even similar to it on the internet.
It either made of bronze, gold or some very heavy metal; its sizes are 6 cm wide (across the base) and 1.8 cm high,
It weight is 12 ¾ Ounces (361.5 Grams or 0.8 Pounds).
Stamped on its side is “CALCUTTA MINT 1900”
The front has an
very detailed raised engraving depicting six Indian solders with guns,
swords and one horse, the back has stamped lettering but has been
dented as if it has been hit many times that they are very hard to make
out, possibly one is WELLI........., another looks like G.G. SOFER and
there is G.M.P stamped separately.
I wondered if it’s a seal or stamp of some kind, I think it’s too detailed for a paperweight and there are none on the internet.
Have you seen one before?
Thanks for your help.

- Dear Sir ,
You can very easily find out whether it is Gold or Bronze ( from any Gols Smith ) . There is world of difference , in the intrinsic value , between gold and bronze. -
