Those are indeed the dates, but not in the AD calendar. The Muslim world uses a different calendar; AH 1330 was AD 1912.

The five- or six-pointed star, the Seal of Solomon, is often found on coins of Morocco, as is the AH date written in Western numerals.

With out seeing it, I think it is a 10 Mazunas from Morocco. There are a couple types. Depending upon the condition, it is worth between 75¢ and $30.00. The date equates 1912.

Awsome pic. It is from Morocco. It has a mintage of 1 million. The Krause/Yeoman catalog number is Y# 29.2. It looks EF to me. That would value it at $12, but the rim bump would lower the value.

The "1330" one is slightly more valuable, assuming it's in much the same condition as this one. But no, neither of them are million-dollar coins.
