josephrg Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 02/28/2014 4:45 pm Does anybody know where this coin comes from. Middle eastern or Indian? Still a few hours left for bidding. http://www.ebay.com/itm/unknown-anc...em5661fadcd5 Joseph Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3446 Posts	Posted 02/28/2014 5:46 pm I think it has an Islamic year 695 on it. I am not very good at reading dates in Arabic numerals strange as that sounds ! This would correspond with 1295 in our calendar. I don't think the coin looks that old. I am out of my area on this one but it is probably some sort of tourist trinket. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16873 Posts	Posted 02/28/2014 6:33 pm It is not ancient, and is not a coin. It is a modern (20th century) Indian "temple token". Any dates or date-like numerals that appear on them are entirely fictitious. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
