Game pieces? Weird coins?

[Beach_Baby]

I found these at the local (Southwest BC, Canada) beach and was wondering if anyone could give some insight into what they are, and what language is on the one side. They are made of some type of metal, about the same weight as a coin (maybe a bit heavier). All 3 were found at the same time within inches of each other.


(I didn't have a U.S. coin for comparison, so I had to use a Canadian one )

I've never seen this kind of things before. The triangles could go with your other finds. They used that type of shapes. The animals on the backs are consistent as well. The symbols need to be looked up

Apparently it's called a "Yantra". I haven't read much further about them, but the images/symbols in the picture on this site are exactly the same as the ones on the back of my round coin...

What is Rahu Yantra, Mantra, Puja, Effect, Remedy?

I told you it wasn't Masonic. Lol

Who said it was masonic? There is another out there that looks more like masonic. But I don't think it is.. I've seen similar type piece with the boxes of numbers.

Still haven't figured this one out. But the back of the round 'coin' appears to be a 3x3 magic square with the numbers in Hindi. Each way in the matrix adds up to 36 (if I'm reading my Hindi correctly ).

A [FONT=&quot]Ramatanka - India Temple token? They seem to have been around for a while and come in many varieties.

I went kayaking on Saturday and at Portage park on the Nickelmekel river heading to Cresent Beach came across a 12 year old boy that found several triangular ones and 2 round ones. He was nice enough to give me one of the triangle ones. Made several phone calls, visited different shops and no answer about the meaning. I assume it is for good luck.

They are temple tokens. Used for ritual prayer and such. The "magic square" is called yantra.
