echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/16/2009 12:00 am This coin looks like a 4 Fauls from Morocco, from the Fes mint. I can't make out the date but it is circa 1850-70's. C# 166.2. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16873 Posts	Posted 01/16/2009 12:26 am To clarify what echizento said: these cast copper coins of Morocco are dated using "Western-style" numerals (just like ours), but using the Islamic calendar. This one looks like 1283 AH, which would translate to 1866 AD. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

ziggy9 Valued Member United States 499 Posts	Posted 01/16/2009 12:34 pm the piece that looks like it was part of a pendant is caused by the casting process, it is usually trimmed off but not always. Richard Report this Post to the Staff
