Super Dude New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 02/17/2023 10:52 pm I found some similar coins from Algeria but no exact matches. It's 33.5mm, 6.7 grams with a smooth edge. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 02/18/2023 01:20 am @sup, that looks like a token to me rather than a coin. We generally describe them as jewelry imitation ottoman tokens. The thin, holed ones might have been used for belly dancer costumes. Here is a link to one somewhat similar to yours. http://goccf.com/t/73894 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
