lynne cubitt New Member United Kingdom 0 Posts	Posted 09/10/2011 09:29 am I have been gazing at the collection of old and foreign coins that I found after clearing my late father's old house. I remember playing with them when I was a kid around 50 years ago ! - though I don't feel that old. They range from the fairly modern (1950s) back to around 1865. Some in acceptable condition to the completely obcure (weightly though !) I have come across some one that has me stumped. I wish I could send a picture. I'm far from great on technology. I'm still fascinated by the light-bulb ! It is a bronze coin, 230mm across with a pentagram (5 sides) on one side with a '5' and some arabian/indian style writing in the centre. One the other side is a stylised pentagram with arched lines and more of the same style writing with '1330' again in the centre. It may not even be a coin ! It could say 'free with every 5 issues'! Also I know is isn't nearly 800 years old - I'm not that silly ! I ddn't know if anybody here has come across one before ! If it is generally believed that I should try for a picture, I will ask one of my more experienced off-spring to give it a go. Grateful for nmy help. Cheers L Report this Post to the Staff

bilnic Valued Member United Kingdom 114 Posts	Posted 09/10/2011 09:56 am Hello Lynne, and welcome to our family. I just collect British coins, but my oldest is about 2000 years old from the Durotriges of what is now Dorset, Bournemouth being my birthplace. I can still remember my fascination (which still exists) for the old silver threepence - plus the fact that I was good at spotting them near bus stops - much to my mother's annoyance as I used to try to rescue them before the bus ran over them - and me! A usuful way of illustrating your coins is to scan them, but set the scanner to just record the small area occupied by the coin rather than the size of a whole page. Sorry that I don't recognise your coin, but someone here probably will. Bill. Report this Post to the Staff
