Specifically, this coin is from Morocco; most Moroccan cast bronze coins have the Seal on them. The date on these coins is written using "Western" numerals. I believe it is "1274" in the Islamic calendar, which would convert to AD 1857. 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
