There are several people here that will know exactly what it is. It is possible though that it could be a counterfeit or copy. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 05/21/2007 12:17 pm After looking at the coin more closely and doing some searching I don't think it's any form of currency but more like a token as jim suggested. I see no Arabic numbers on it Edited by GO 05/21/2007 8:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16816 Posts	Posted 05/21/2007 7:58 pm I concur that it doesn't look like any coin I'm familiar with. I suspect it's a class of object known as a "temple token", though that's a bit of a misnomer for this particular coin, since Muslims don't have "temples". Think of it as either a lucky charm, or a religious amulet. Items like these might be given to folks at weddings, or when they set off on the Hajj to Mecca. Zeno.ru illustrates a few such items of this style, though not this particular type. The standard catalogue for these pieces is Magic coins of Java, Bali and the Malay Peninsula by Joe Cribb. Not sure what the price of it would be. That would depend on how old it is, and what it's made of. These items were normally made from brass obtained from melted-down Chinese cash coins. 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
