Spence Moderator United States 34407 Posts	Posted 05/03/2017 8:19 pm Arkie, yes looks like a hajj token to me (yasin 5 based on the rev). Most likely from Indonesia: https://www.zeno.ru/showgallery.php?cat=1668 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Babar Valued Member Pakistan 207 Posts	Posted 05/04/2017 12:02 pm You're right, it's a South East Asian Hajj token, possibly from Malaysia. It has an image of a pilgrim on the obverse, and the names of the first four Islamic Caliphs around the edges on the obverse, surrounding 5 repetitions of the word "Ya Sin". This one is a "5 Yasin" tokens, there are also 3 ones. https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=22251 EDIT: Oops...just saw that Spence posted the exact same info :D Edited by Babar 05/04/2017 12:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
