Sap Moderator Australia 16845 Posts	Posted 10/29/2015 5:58 pm The coin is very, very crudely imitating an Ottoman gold coin - the side with ITZSCHE has a very crude imitation of an Ottoman toughra in the centre. It is not a genuine coin, but presumably a jewellery imitation. Perhaps made in Germany by the token and jeton makers there, as the "Arabic" is far less Arabic-like than is usual for these jewellery imitations. 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
