Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 05/08/2008 04:51 am Sadly, this would be a gold-plated imitation of an early Ottoman gold coin, made for decorative purposes. One could call it a "belly dancer's coin". There are numbers written sideways in the top pic, which (if I'm right) is upside down: "8978". Presumably a batch number, rather than a date, because it's sideways compared to the illegible "text". 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
