Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 635 Posts	Posted 02/18/2018 10:39 am This very thin, square item weighs 1.41 g and is 21 mm across. It seems to be brass. I can make out the Arabic number 35 on it, but that's about all I can tell. Will appreciate any help with ID. Report this Post to the Staff

Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 635 Posts	Posted 02/18/2018 12:09 pm I agree. It seems more to me like a claim check or meal token than a coin. For one thing, there's very little writing on it. Report this Post to the Staff

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 02/20/2018 10:39 am May also be a tax token of some sort? Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff
Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 635 Posts	Posted 02/20/2018 10:52 am Yes, that's certainly worth considering. A quick Google search for "Arabic tax tokens" didn't turn up anything, but that doesn't rule it out. I'm still open to suggestions. Report this Post to the Staff
