ferpers New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/30/2018 01:26 am I cannot find any image that resembles this kind of flower in my searches, and I don't know how to hone my searches because one side of the coin has almost no distinguishable markings. Report this Post to the Staff

I don't know these Morocco types really well, but it seems the side with the knob has a well defined Star of David in most (all?) cases, and I'm not getting that on the posted object, though maybe that's due to the state of corrosion (admittedly there are a couple of lines between 9:00 and 12:00 faintly suggestive it could be there). Even if it were a contemporary fake, that's certainly different than a button. Edited by tdziemia 08/01/2018 12:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff
