SnailSale New Member United Kingdom 5 Posts	Posted 02/08/2017 4:13 pm Don't even know where to start with this one. I am assuming Arabic and can be fairly certain it is copper. Thanks in advance! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/08/2017 7:12 pm Don't think Arabic, writing isn't. Looks early Tibetian (Siam) or Indian states, maybe Thai? Report this Post to the Staff

My best guess is that it is an imitation token rather than a coin, but perhaps someone else here can provide more definitive information. Also, welcome to CCF!

SnailSale New Member United Kingdom 5 Posts	Posted 02/09/2017 4:32 pm Could there be a chance that this has any real value? I assume by the way it has tarnished that I haven't been lucky enough to find a silver or even gold one..? It weighs 1.43g so is a bit light for gold or silver agree? I don't want to risk damaging it by cleaning you understand Report this Post to the Staff
