I'm not actually sure what the camel reversed item is supposed to be but it also looks cast.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 06/10/2013 5:41 pm to the community Sadly I have to agree the coins all appear to be reproductions. The Queen with Camel is not ancient at all and is some type of tourist token from Egypt. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16869 Posts	Posted 06/10/2013 8:50 pm The image of the "queen" is based on the famous Nefertiti bust. With the word "queen" on it in English, this piece is clearly aimed at English-speaking tourists. And yes, I would have to concur that the other two pieces clearly visible in the image are not genuine ancient coins, either. The "owl" is supposed to be silver, and the Roman one - it appears to be trying to imitate a cistophorus, a type of coin you're not likely to find in Jordan as they come from western Turkey - is both rather crudely drawn and has the wrong legend on the obverse. Here's a genuine one. 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.

Yeoldecoins Valued Member 384 Posts	Posted 11/11/2013 12:18 pm Yep, other two are fakes....poor ones too. The token with Queen on the obverse also has a faint name on the right edge too, so if you wanted to ID the token or marrow it down, see if you can read the other word on the obv.
