Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 04/24/2015 2:13 pm I think it is a tourist token/medal sold in Egypt. There are similar 'gold' coins. http://www.numismatikforum.de/viewt....php?t=24308 I do not know if they are real silver or gold Report this Post to the Staff

X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 04/24/2015 2:37 pm I'm guessing the 999.9HH might be for fineness, but that's just me. I feel like 20 grams for a 34mm coin sounds reasonable for silver. How does the edge look like? It it milled, plain or does it have a trace of some other metal? I don't think it is an actual coin as it has no denomination. It's toned like that of a silver coin, but it can always be plated. Edited by X2an 04/24/2015 4:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

wolfgang-s New Member Canada 13 Posts	Posted 04/24/2015 6:47 pm The coin is not magnetic , the edge looks plain and has the same golden looking. I hope Petrus did get my answer not the same way as you bpoc1. I am thankful for his link and help. wolfgang Report this Post to the Staff
X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 04/25/2015 02:14 am From my experience the fact that the edge is plain confirms it's a medallion. The edge's got the same colour as the rest of the coin. Sounds like a perfectly good silver piece. If my calculations are correct, then the melt value would be about US $11. Knowing nothing about the market for these type of objects, I'd say the value isn't more than the melt value. But then again, I could be wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
