Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 08/24/2011 2:25 pm Hi folks, Not really sure where to start on this one. I don't see any date and the crescent and star on the box is backwards for any Islamic flag I have seen. Can any one identify the piece or at least country of origin? Thank you kindly! =) Report this Post to the Staff

pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 08/24/2011 5:00 pm I can't find any numerals on it - date or denomination. Nice design - maybe a medal? Report this Post to the Staff

My guess is a keepsake for pilgrims to Mecca. Edited by DVCollector 08/24/2011 5:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

It looks like the Pakistani flag, only with the convex side of the crescent facing the star instead of the concave side. Report this Post to the Staff

I only mention it because I did a recent search for "crescent & star" a while back. And that is displayed in this topic. I wanted to find out just what countries used "crescent & star" and found a number of them. So it doesn't really have to be Pakistan. Report this Post to the Staff
