Hi, I need to identify this coin. I got the date using some research. Its an 1821 coin. The diameter is just shy of 35mm and the thickness is of about 4 mm. Weighs 29.7grams. Any help would be appreciated. I am mostly interestd in the Origin of the coin but an estimate of what its worth can't do any harm! Thanks!

It's from Tunisia. The date is actually 1281 in the Islamic calendar, or around 1864 AD. Denomination is 8 kharub, I think; I don't have my books with me right now to give you a value. Here's a 2 kharub on WCG.
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
