Jamesmblair New Member United Kingdom 33 Posts	Posted 02/12/2012 3:14 pm Hi, Attahced are scans of an alumunium token from Egypt which I have had for many years. I would be grateful if any one could please identify it for me. One suggestion I have had is that it was issued by Egyption Railways but I have no idea whether this is correct or not. Thanks. I just realised only one of the scans loaded - oh the curse of the Newby! Here is the other side. Edited by Jamesmblair 02/12/2012 7:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

EgCollector Pillar of the Community Egypt 3470 Posts	Posted 02/13/2012 11:53 am Hi Jamesmblair to CCF This is a Cafe token, 1st pic "30 Milliemes" ..... on the 2nd pic there is the name of the owner and the address of the cafe. It might be from Egypt (as the name of the owner is of the names we use here) or from any other Arab country as there isn't anything that says that it is from Egypt. Report this Post to the Staff
