Sap Moderator Australia 16842 Posts	Posted 08/18/2011 08:39 am I'm pretty sure it's a Southeast Asian Islamic "magic coin" or "pilgrim token". The Arabic word repeated seven times is "Yasin", the first word of Sura 36, the so-called "Heart of the Quran". You won't find an exact match on the zeno.ru pages but you will find others with the "Seven Yasins", arranged differently, as well as other animals (such as butterflies). 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

redwine Valued Member France 130 Posts	Posted 08/18/2011 12:42 pm Fascinating, I was wondering why the same text was repeated again and again. Thank goodness I didn't start looking up mintmarks in Krause, well I did start but it didn't last very long :) Report this Post to the Staff
