need info on two rounds or tokens | Xenios Zeus and Morocco

Picture or detailed description please?

I don't know anything about the Greek medal, but the coin with Arabic inscriptions is a coin from Morocco: 10 mazunas Y#17.1, issued during the reign of king Abd-al-Aziz (AH1311-1326 or 1894-1908). The year, AH1320 corresponds with 1902.

Those are very beautiful coins. The second one is beautiful.. the tone is gorgeous!

Ya always CRACK me up Gary!

The Greek medal is written in a script designed to look archaic.

The obverse says "Xenios Zeus E.O.T.". Zeus Xenios means the Zeus of Strangers; Zeus (among his other duties) was the patron deity of hospitality and kindness to strangers; a google search of the phrase shows that there seem to be an awful lot of hotels in Greece named "Zeus Xenios". "EOT" seems to be the abbreviation (in Greek) for the Greek National Tourist Organisation.

The reverse inscription reads, "pros gar dios eisin apantes xeinoi te ptochoi te dosin d' olige te phile te". A native speaker can probably give you a better translation, but I think it's something along the lines of: "For being one of the few friends who meet strangers and give to beggars".

I suspect I've got the cases, prepositions and other grammatical bits all wrong (I'm more a Greek dabbler than a Greek scholar), but it's definitely saying something about meeting strangers and gifts to beggars. I assume it's some kind of hospitality award from the Greek tourist organisation.

Beat HABIB by four seconds!

Even if his translation is more accurate.

I was wondering, with the archaic theme, if it was a famous quote from Greek literature. Homer makes sense.

wow you guys are great.
and all this time I thought I had a million dollar piece lol just to find out that now I am a beggar lol oh well a gift is a gift lol
thanks guys
