INDIA, colonial coins
    Coins were struck by Europeans starting in the late 16th century and continued until 1947.  There are hundreds of different types, some of them difficult to pin down completely.  New additions are found occasionally.  The main countries involved were Portugal, France, Denmark, Netherlands, and of course Britain.
