svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 11/01/2010 9:52 pm Not a coin, for sure. The symbolics are Saudi (Arabian) but I cannot say what it is exactly. Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 11/01/2010 9:55 pm By the way, the number on the "reverse" has nothing to do with date. Coat check claim? Report this Post to the Staff
pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 11/02/2010 10:20 pm That number is surely the date of the end of the world ... Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 11/02/2010 10:32 pm Great! There's plenty of time left for us and quite a few generations! (To build up a nice collection perhaps) Report this Post to the Staff
odentheviking Valued Member United States 425 Posts	Posted 11/07/2010 11:30 am You mean it's NOT 2012? Quick, tell me, what's the number!! Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 11/07/2010 12:55 pm The number is 3422. And if it were the Hejira date, which they use in Saudi Arabia, it would translate to about 3941 AD. Report this Post to the Staff
Turk7 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 11/07/2010 2:47 pm The number is arabic for 3422, which rules out a date. It's such a large token, does anyone have any clue as to what it might have been used for? Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 11/07/2010 4:49 pm I think it's just a tag for something numbered. Could be a key tag for a storage or a motel room, a pet licence tag, or could be a tag for a thing on a shelf in a warehouse. And somehow this business has a connection to Saudi Arabia, either it is in the country or Saudi expatriots keep their memory of the Fatherland. Report this Post to the Staff
Turk7 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 11/07/2010 8:10 pm Thanks for your insights and I will label it accordingly as a tag. Report this Post to the Staff
