Hi everybody.

I have this coin in my collection and i really don't know where is it from! It is copper, 15 mm in diameter, it has a pentagram in one side and a script that i don't know in the other (maybe islamic). Little help, please?

Could be from Morocco. Reverse image is unclear; perhaps like 1 or 2 MUZUNA - AH1320 / 1902AD reform coinage.

ETA AH1330

Have a look at  my tokens and my banknotes.

This coin was presented to me to look at about a month ago from another site. I have not had time to look at it. However the weight would be good and a better contrast picture for the side with the writing.

It looks better the other way up and enhanced a little.

AH 12xx.... perhaps a Falus.

Unfortunately i don't know its weight. I haven't bought a scale yet, but i have planned it. I will inform you as soon as possible. Thank you very much!

There is a possibility that the coin is not copper, but billon. But the best way is to weigh it, as soon as i buy a scale.

Here's a similar one of mine, in equally poor condition, I think mine is Ghorids of Ghazna,

Sorry, Vic. Yours has a 6-pointed star. I would go with Morocco also, but can't read enough of the text on the other side.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Somewhere I have a coin (cleaned) with a star on it. I must find it and see if there is a similarity

Thank all of you. The condition of this coin doesn't help at all.  :)
