Arabic - Kufi Script Token ?

7 posts
Hi

This coin is written in the old arabic calligraphic style but it looks much too new and shiny to be a coin. I think it's a religious token:


Has anyone seen anything like it ?
How can i find out more about this coin?
How can i search for it ?

Thank you for your time.
​Interesting. Looks like an Umayyad Dinar, but the calligraphy is weird ...
Do you have the weight and size? I'll post it on zeno.ru.

​That would be great if you could do that.
It's exactly 21mm in diameter.
But i do not have the weight - i don't have scales. :(
The coin is not magnetic, is perfectly round and has a patina that i keep seeing on nickel or stainless steel coins from tropical regions.
In what category could you post it tho. The tokens category ? The fakes and controversials ? The Modern Fakes of Ummayad ?
Looks to me like a replica, propably for a belly dansers costume
It is not really arabic writing I think

Must be fake, the dirham is too round

It must be a really bad fake since I haven't seen perfectly round ummayad fakes. :D
