DCH Pillar of the Community United States 645 Posts	Posted 07/11/2010 10:31 pm Any ideas on this one? It came to me in a collection of primarily Indian sultanate coppers. 11.2 grains, .68 grams. Gold colored. ~8mm diameter, ~1.5mm thick. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16860 Posts	Posted 07/12/2010 03:29 am The edge reminds me of mediaeval Sri Lankan coppers, but I couldn't find any moon-and-star types from there, in any metal. 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

molydeii Pillar of the Community Turkey 870 Posts	Posted 07/12/2010 04:30 am I see a crescent and a star, cerscent and the star has been used in mainly Turkey and Pakistan. Since, Turkey was founded in 1923 (before that was the Ototman Empire and they NEVER did use star-and-crescent in coins, finding it a Turkish symbol not an Ottoman symbol) it could be Pakistani, considering it came with a group of Indian Sultanate coins. There is this Arabic word on the other side that reminded me of the word "Allah" or "Maasallah" (God, or God's Grace) but I am not sure, I am just guessing based on teh design I do not have experience in that area.

fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 07/12/2010 09:38 am Is that shine on high points, or basemetal? Report this Post to the Staff
DCH Pillar of the Community United States 645 Posts	Posted 07/12/2010 7:10 pm Is that shine on high points, or basemetal? The high points are still a goldish color, but darker. It may be gilded base metal, brass or a low grade gold alloy. It seems a bit light to me for gold. Report this Post to the Staff
