In it's tail has some leaves and holds with it's paws some type of flag. I think it's from Syria, but I'n not sure, those coins I found in the web had only 2 stars in the shield and some other had a different picture of the eagle but has the 3 stars. In the back has some number: 197^ (?) and a patterns like this Can somebody help me and tell anything about this coin? If is necessary, I'll look a way to find better images of the coin Edited by Sap 10/14/2008 04:34 am Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16922 Posts	Posted 10/13/2008 12:58 am "197^" are Arabic numerals for "1968", which is the AD date for this coin - the four symbols on the other side (1387 in Arabic numerals) is the same date in the Islamic calendar. Your coin is indeed Syrian, a 1 pound. Example on WorldCoinGallery. 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
