pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 10/26/2010 1:57 pm Both your "coins" look like tourist tokens to me, cdn44fan. I'm no expert in Arabic, but I can't find any dates on them. Report this Post to the Staff
andyg Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1324 Posts	Posted 10/26/2010 5:10 pm Both are older than what we would think of as tourist tokens, this is another copy of an Algerian Budju with corrupted legends - holed as it should be. I've seen them described as 'belly money' also, ie they were strung in rows around dancers.... Report this Post to the Staff
