wheatiefan Pillar of the Community United States 508 Posts	Posted 05/10/2009 4:13 pm Got another one for the community family. The date and the denomination look arabic. The script on the reverse doesn't look like the arabic I am used to seeing. There is also writing on the front which didn't photograph well. I've tried looking up most of the Middle Eastern and North African countries with no luck so far, but may have overlooked it. The obverse looks to me like a couple of walkways leading to and from an arched stone bridge. Country ID? Can anyone translate the script? What's the bridge? Thanks in advance, -wheatiefan Edited by Sap 05/17/2009 08:56 am Report this Post to the Staff

Got it, famous 17th century Shaharah bridge. The 32 meter limestone bridge links two mountaintop villages separated by a gorge. Wow! Here's pic! It looks very cool! **Better pic And one more description: Shahara bridge built to fight Turkish invaders. The legend says that the local people can remove the bridge in few minutes in case of imminent danger! Edited by wd1040 05/10/2009 4:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff
