Here's an obverse and reverse die match of the previous coin, though the fabric is completely different. They're about but not exactly the same weight. It's unusual to find two coins like this that appear to be unlisted and that are die matches of one another, though tribal coins aren't that well documented. The die matches in themselves are no indication that these pieces are modern forgeries, and there's nothing about the coins themselves that suggests they were cast or pressed rather than hand struck. I bought the first piece above from a European auction house in 2004, the second from a volume seller on eBay in 2008. The first piece cost 15 times more. Win some, lose some...

The above coin was struck from the same reverse die and a slightly different obverse die as the previous two coins. Photo of this coin courtesy of Heidrun Hoehn.
