Token identification: Egyptian/Ottoman? British/German? WW1?

5 posts • viewed 49 times

Hello, 

 

I recently came by an interesting little token but have not been able to find any information about it.

 

Composition: Copper (?)

Weight: 2.77g

Diameter: 18.3mm

 

 

Obverse

An Ottoman flag above text that seems to read:

 

P9 (1)

LN

 

 

Reverse

A desert scene with a pyramid, sphinx, and palm tree.

 

 

 

I wonder if it might date from the First World War, and perhaps have some military link (is the writing on the obverse a reference to a unit?).

 

I have no context beyond what is on the token itself, so if anyone has any information or ideas I'd be very grateful!

 

Best wishes,

 

Michael 

 I saw just one small picture, but cannot open to wherever it goes. 

 

 Was hoping to get a description or title.

That's because it moved to sold a couple of days ago and Google hasn't caught up.

 

Only other info was 18 mm across.

 Thanks! Ah, yes, sold 3 days ago. Found the page now

 Also agreed nothing on there apart from that diameter.
