moose59 Pillar of the Community United States 732 Posts	Posted 08/09/2018 05:34 am I got this in a batch of foreign coins. I is 17mm's in diameter, weight's 5 grams and 3 mm thick. It is circular with a hole in the center, has a grove through the middle. There is a Stag? On the Obverse with a date in Hebrew of 2010 above the grove and below the grove is some Hebrew writing? and maybe Persian? On the reverse in 1 through 0 counter clock wise with Hebrew. I have no clue what this is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 08/09/2018 09:27 am Too funny. Moose59 you must be a yung'un. The rotary dial on the reverse should have given it away to anybody 35 or older. The reverse says Doar Israel or Israel Post. The "post" in Israel (similar to other countries) is a multi-purpose operation. You can change money there. You can pay bills there. And they operated the pay phones back in the 90's. And no the date on that is not 2010. It is 1996. Edited by BigSilver 08/09/2018 09:30 am Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 08/10/2018 04:21 am The Hebrew letters at the bottom of the first image are t-l-f-o-n. The Arabic letters just below are also t-l-f-o-n. Apparently both the Hebrew and Arabic words for telephone are "telephone" Edited by Kushanshah 08/10/2018 04:29 am Report this Post to the Staff
RLS0812 Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 08/10/2018 05:53 am "1976" according to my chart * Edited by Staff \| The bad word filter is in place for a reason. Bypassing the filter and making the intended word obvious anyway is completely unacceptable. * Edited by RLS0812 08/10/2018 05:57 am Report this Post to the Staff
january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5172 Posts	Posted 08/10/2018 06:19 am 1966, I think. Tav-Shin-Kaf-Vav = 400+300+20+6 = 726 = 5726 AM ~= 1966 AD. Report this Post to the Staff
