Imasnore Valued Member Canada 360 Posts	Posted 08/11/2014 7:50 pm Here is a small circular golden disc item with the date 1222 and more Islamic script. I can not determine if this item is a copy or an actual coin. It is non magnetic, about 15 mm, and weighs about 0.43 grams. Pictures attached, help identifying or qualifying what this item is....would be appreciated Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 08/11/2014 8:41 pm If you do a forum search for "imitation Ottoman 78", you'll find a large number of similar items. The "78" is the badly blundered regnal year; the gold coin this design was copied from was dated Accession year 1223, Regnal year 28. 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
