Coinfanmorgan Valued Member 357 Posts	Posted 12/29/2012 8:53 pm I don't know how to read Arabic, and would appreciate it there was someone who could try and identify if this is a token or coin please. The lighting worked for only one side, but if pictures of the other side are needed, I'll do my best to take them. Identified - moved to Exonumia forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfanmorgan Valued Member 357 Posts	Posted 12/29/2012 11:52 pm You are right in thinking the design is similar. I did a Google search for Moroccan coins. Perhaps it could be one with a hole punched through? Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16832 Posts	Posted 12/30/2012 03:42 am We've said it before, and we'll say it again: your piece is not a genuine coin. You've posted several threads asking about this "coin", and been given meaningful replies each time. In this thread, for example, the coin Wade posted is identical in design, though more finely executed, and the Arabic script is actually legible, though somewhat stylized to fit into the angles of the star. The pic of your piece posted in this thread is the clearest so far, and now we can clearly see that the Arabic script has been garbled by whoever made the copy and it is no longer fully legible. I believe the word at the 2 o'clock position, for example, is supposed to be the word "el-daulat" (the State of), but it has become a meaningless assortment of disconnected dots and lines; the entire bottom half of the word is missing. Conclusion: your piece is a jewellery replica, presumably brass, using the design copied from the obverse of a silver coin from Morocco in the 1950s. The genuine coins look like this or this. Based on the size given in this thread, it was probably the 100 franc coin that was used as the model. 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
