Harmonica Pillar of the Community Canada 1118 Posts	Posted 09/23/2014 09:41 am Hey Treasure Box, you know what I was thinking? Rather then posting them all in the exo thread like this you could break them up and post them individually in the i.d. thread. The reason I say this is it might get hard to follow when people of different backgrounds start chiming in with things like "That their 3rd medal" or "The one with that woman" and what not in the same thread. That one coin, the holed one in Arabic, one side appears to say "lÄ Ê¾ilÄha Ê¾illÄ-llÄh, muhammadun rasÅ«lu-llÄh" which is the Muslim's declaration of faith so it comes from a Muslim land. The other side, well I can make out an alaf and a yod, neither one of those letters are unique to Pashto Persian or Malaysian so I will assume it is Arabic. Anyone else want to add anything?

I think it is a hunting medal of some sort based on the obverse but have no way to confirm that. Edited by MeadowviewCollector 09/23/2014 1:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff

MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 09/23/2014 7:41 pm This is the one I described as the blue and white in my last post The upper left corner that I thought might be a hunting medal: Harmonica is on the right track by posting these pieces in a separate thread in the Identification forum a larger audience will see them and hopefully be able to help.

sjh241 Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 09/23/2014 10:01 pm I think these are going to be hard to identify and I agree with advice to post them separately in the identification thread, with obverse and reverse pics. I was doing some searching on the usual German auction sites and I had an idea that if you don't get answers I would take, for example, the Ansbach medal and pics and try to track down and get in contact with coin dealers in that city. I've done that before with town/city specific items and I usually find someone that knows. Report this Post to the Staff
