My parents bought these old copper/bronze coins from a scrap metal dealer in India in the early 1970s, most likely around Jaipur or Udaipur. They paid very little for the whole lot and brought them back home, where they’ve been ever since.

I’ve done some research and it looks like there are quite a few different types and variations in this group, possibly from different periods. That’s where I’m getting a bit lost.

I’d love to hear from people who actually know Indian coins and can tell me what they see without me giving too much information or influencing anyone’s opinion.

Mainly I’m curious about what they are, roughly how old they are, how to properly identify the different types, and whether any of them might have some value.

I’m also interested in who actually collects coins like these. Are there particular communities, cultural or historical collectors, specialist dealers, or auction houses that would be interested in a group like this if we ever decided to sell them?

Thank you all in advance!

Hello everyone,
I am trying to identify the artist of two oil paintings, both dated 1933 and both signed with the same intertwined monogram.
Painting 1 depicts the historic fish market at Gammel Strand, Copenhagen. The buildings include the original signs:
Carl Bang
S. Petersen
Fiskehuset No. 3
Børs-Bodega
Painting 2 is a portrait of an elderly painter at his easel and palette. It carries exactly the same monogram and the same date (1933).
The paintings originally belonged to my uncle, who had them hanging in his home for many years. He purchased them from Henry’s Auktionshus (Henry’s Auction House) in Denmark.
I have spent quite a bit of time researching them.
So far I have found:
The market scene is definitely Gammel Strand, Copenhagen.
Several AI tools suggest the market scene could be by Søren Christian Bjulf, because he painted many views of Gammel Strand.
However, I have not found a verified example proving that this exact monogram belongs to Bjulf.
Other AI tools interpret the monogram as THL or HC, so I would prefer an identification based on documented signatures rather than AI image recognition.
My questions are:
Does anyone recognize this monogram?
Has anyone seen this exact signature on another Danish painting?
Could both paintings be by the same artist?
Does the market scene match a known work by Søren Christian Bjulf or another Danish artist?
Unfortunately, I don’t have photos of the backs yet, but I can upload them if needed.
Any help, references, auction records, or signature comparisons would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
