Default Some help please, Indian coin

B.J.
I could not access that newsgroup for some reason, perhaps my server does
not recognise it, I have found an empty NG "alt.binaries.pictures.fishing"
and posted it there. Hope you can see that, If not I'm happy to e-mial the
pics to you.

It doesn't sound like any coin I've seen, it's probably a token. Do you
have pictures? Either post to alt.binaries.pictures.numismatic or put a
link to the picture in this group.

I have found in a deceased relatives things an Indian coin 35 mm in
diameter and 2.5 mm thick. The coin features a raised map of India with
Gandhi standing in the centre and "75" in the Bay of Bengal, the words
GANDHI IN INDIA across the map and some Indian lettering I can not read
around the edge. The other side has Gandhi's head and shoulders with more
Indian writing but in big bold letters above his head is "SUPERMAN". All
is a raised gold/brass colour with a silver background, some of the
silver has worn to reveal the brass colour underneath. Has anyone ever
heard of such a coin? I expect it is some kind of commemorative coin but
I can see no four digit date.

Any help appreciated

Dave
