The form of this star is ancient and is called Mesopotamian eight-pointed star symbol (otcogram) of the goddess Ishtar. Who can help me with the translation of the Arabic text on this medal? Who can tell me about the age of this medal? What was it used for? Thanks you for any answers. Report this Post to the Staff

MPkunst New Member Netherlands 9 Posts	Posted 10/11/2017 12:43 am Thank you for your answer. If it is a "belly dance" costume coin shouldn't there be a hole in it? I should have told you before but the size of the "coin" is 46.3mm and the weight is 27.6g. Report this Post to the Staff

I agree that it's not likely to be a belly dancer coin based on size, style and the aforementioned lack of a hole or mounting. Report this Post to the Staff
