I think it could be an Islamic coin/token, weighs 11.6 Grams 2.5 cm. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rick Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16842 Posts	Posted 08/27/2013 01:33 am It's an Indian "temple token". The script-side is loosely based on the kalima-and-four-caliphs obverses of Mughal silver rupees. The mosque is only found on tokens such as these. 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.

Sap Moderator Australia 16842 Posts	Posted 08/27/2013 03:37 am The symbol on the "door" - it's actually carved onto a huge gateway, the "door" is the tiny arch underneath - is the word "Allah". 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
