Spence Moderator United States 34418 Posts	Posted 06/30/2016 2:09 pm @shelbyman, first I am sorry for your loss. Second, welcome to CCF. Third, can you please post a pic of the other side of the two coins?

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2882 Posts	Posted 06/30/2016 2:42 pm Hi, These look like jewelry pieces, normally seen pierced for middle eastern dancers costumes. Likely brass.

Spence Moderator United States 34418 Posts	Posted 06/30/2016 2:48 pm @bacchus, yep exactly where I was going with this. I think that they often have the same design on the front as back (often because they are so thin that one side is incuse of the other).

Shelbyman New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/30/2016 9:52 pm Thanks for your help. Now it's time to have fun with the wife.. Looks like they came from a Middle Eastern belly dancer while my Father-in-law was away in the war. Report this Post to the Staff
