Hello my friends,

Before some time I bought one coin in Afghanistan. For one year I am trying to identify it but it is not possible. The interesting thing it is that in the middle of the coin there is a star of David (see bellow), in that region has never been issued coins with star of David (as far as I know).

After lot's of research I achieved to find some similar coins from nearby, but not the exact coin.

I would be really happy if you can help me to identify this mysterious coin.

I suppose that if this coin isn't from Afghanistan than should be from Mamluk Sultanate (Israel-Egypt region), here is a link of one similar coin - http://www.forumancientcoins.com/ar.../alaiye.html

or it is from Kingdom of Travancore - Principal State from South of India

From Wikipedia

"Turcomans who ruled in Anatolia during the 13th century, inherited it from the Seljuk Turks. Islamic coins from the reign of Khalif Nasreddin Mahmoud bin Mohammad, following Turkish influence, sporting a double-headed eagle on one side and the Star of David on the other as early as year 1200.[citation needed]"
