Spence Moderator United States 34456 Posts	Posted 03/07/2021 5:06 pm @battlewedge, this is an Israeli telephone token (not a coin). Added: Sorry for my poor manners--welcome to CCF! Also, here is a link to the wikipedia page on these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_token "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34456 Posts	Posted 03/07/2021 5:12 pm Glad to help. Just in case you are interested in going down the rabbit hole on these, here is a link to a Dutch website that deals with telephone tokens (and other types of world tokens): http://www.jezuss.nl/te/telefoon.htm#israel "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Your token is dated Year (5)726, which converts to AD 1966. 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
