My best Columbian, MS64 with deep toning.

That is beautiful. 

Yandex is Russia’s version of Google. Here are a few that have confused me over time. That last one is India’s.

Same trade roots & influences......no time or year change of the issue. Not meant to confuse..I prefer AC...

The weight is correct for a Moroccan 4th Standard dirham of the Moulay Abd'al-Rahman period. Fez Hazrat and Marrakesh are possible mints. I see the zarb/zuriba on the mint side, and the legible writing below it is consistent with coins attributed to Marrakesh. I can't speak to its authenticity, but rest assured there is minimal Greek influence and zero Mongolian. There is no good reason to believe that the given date, AH 1263, is a counterstamp.

Moroccan culture is a blend of Berber, Arab, Sephardi Jews, West African and European influences. ‘Wikipedia’

Karen, I apologize, I after we talked I ate a power bar & was going to break & woke to the smell of my wife cooking. I’ve been overdoing it lately. I’m glad JKK could help & by influence of Mongolia and Greek, with this date both those countries controlled the known world at some point. I have many small Roman coins with the same like mixture of gibberish and actual language, but that was just at glance and first guess. The website I gave you had your exact coin but in 1299. I’m happy you figured it out, I’m the same way about tracing something. I have some ani isn’t coins that some archaeologists can’t tell me anything about them, though I know they’re real. I lived in the Ukraine for 6 years as a child MK & have many coins with that writing & somehow the Russian translators we had at the time explained the old slavics or “huahall” as they called them and the mixture of cultures Pakistani and Indian Sand--script. This the crazy maze looking designs. Some of these are real, but I have truly legit ancients from their sources that do not look as well as some on those sights and your silver coin... sorry, thats why I warned you. Silver did not last for trade so they usually during this time used brass etc. the Chinese actually had to shape the coins with the round brass coins and a square in the middle because it was sacredly how the ancients thought the world looked like & finally trade ensued. Any who, I had the chance as a Ukrainian MK child to buy an ancient gold coin with this type writing & I used my Russian friend because if they knew you were Americann the price automatically changed somehow lol. It was $20 & I begged my parents for it at the time, but little did I know we were surviving on $20 a month because of the economy & time period. Thus, I jokingly bring up to my parents the price I find on these coins and back then gold and silver were rarely used except by kings, rulers, & dignitaries so not many exist and they’re mostly in Museums. Having lived both places I can attest the Chinese can fake/reproduce almost anything & I mean very well. The Russians lately have gotten better as technology does I assume. I do have real contacts through churches etc. if you’d really like a coin because I can get some very similar, but they’ll be real, let me know. I’ll check for any doubles as well. In the ‘90s when I came back here I tried grading these coins and most would turn me down thus I have an ancient collection ungraded, but researched by me. Two of my favorite coins is I have a silver shekel that came from the time period that Judas betrayed Jesus with. I also have what. Is called “the widows mite”. If you remember the story of the old wouthat gives the last cents at there time and everyone complained in the church during the apostles time period and the apostle rebuked everyone and said that she gave more than all of them because that was the last of what she had etc. I like these two coins and they recently found an coin in Israeli archeology with Isaiah’s name on it. Profound. I’d love to get one, but much of their true history was destroyed. I was blessed to be able to help at some digs and that is were I obtained those Roman coins. They allowed me to keep them.  I’ve led a blessed life, but God was able to reach and bless many through my parents ministry and the childish resentments I had not being able to be in real school with real kids and home school. I can tell you this though, when I hit college here, I was taken aback how far we are with information being taught. So, the greatest gift home schooling gave me was a lesson on how to teach myself. That’s what it’s all about anyway. History is so white washed it’d blow your mind some truths I’ve come to find myself. Karen, God Bless you & I’ll look for you something ligit but may not be silver or gold..... what the victors inscribed in metal coins etc. a lot of times is the passion behind my hobby, because history told to us is through the victors and this much history has to be found which is sad because we as humans seem to continue this process and not learn from the past.....

Karen, this should help.... & btw the area you’re thinking of is between Pakistan & India.

God Bless

It’s definitely on those sites in Russia & they’re about as bad as the Chinese at the fakes. I’ll try to find but with ancients it’s difficult because they snipped them and struck them in evenly etc. I’m knee deep in my grandma’s estate coins & will help definitely find it soon.

Hi Karen, I found many examples of your new coin. If you download the reverse picture search app Sherlock and use Yandex when it searches you’ve hit the mother load...

i hope this helps.... God Bless

I swear to you, as far as their opinions go, that symbol is not generic or natural to any culture & I’ve been to Cuba as a missionary. I would further tread carefully about the coin. It does have a specific meaning & it’s been playing out for millennia. Keep that picture in your mind & start paying attention to symbols & you’ll notice it everywhere. It’s not even indigenous to our culture, but look at the original layout of Washington DC. The name on the map was Rome. & the patriarch of freedom/liberty is an exact Roman match of the patriarch of the goddess Fortunate, Janus, Jupiter, or in their meaning Love. Exact match and almost exact match of Greek goddess Ishtar. goddess of fertility thus Easter holiday for us. Tied in with the Bohemians and their secret society.... food for thought.

This coin is not what it seems to be. It is token for societies such as the secret kind that has several meanings. The reason you haven’t found this specific coin exactly is because it’s not a public coin. Take the 3 off the bottom & circle it in the triangle then place the horseshoe pointed right in the middle. These kind of symbols are everywhere but only understood by those who pay attention. & its definitely not a heart, because an upside down pyramid does represent women, but then the horseshoe would be upside down. 

The root word Britos modernly means someone from Great Britain, but in Aramaic it means a wild hog/beast. You’d be surprised how many live in this world of its own. Interesting meaning though. Before WW2 similar were found and this one has a 3 and looks rather old. If you research, you’ll find this true. The group that I know of in the South that plus the game as I call it use horseshoes mostly. David Duke.... 

i hope this this helped any at all.

i think its roman around 4.1g . gold 23k  but iam not suer if its fake or orginal 

plz any onw can help me to find out ?

thank u all 

It’s Slavic and says Antov and Victoria and the back his first name is Devalens something. I speak Russian & have many of their ancients, but I have to agree with the others, it’s fake. Not even correct markings or look. 

It looks like Egyptian hieroglyphs, I have some ancients, but more resembles a mixture of Mongolian/Chinese. Very similar. My best guess would be when Greek had greater influence on those areas. I’ll find it. Very nice !!!

Wow

Found in Grandma’s estate today. Best I’ve ever seen.

Just at a glance Bob, the bottom left looks Greek to me. Above it Roman & the 2 on the right to me in my opinion & knowledge of their symbolism think the 2 on the right are Viking or earl pagan. Just an opinion.... id lean more towards Greeks. Almost looks like Leonitus to me on the left bottom lol.. 

Revision, I meant 1957-S? Supposed not made there that year.

Only serious help please & thanks. The coin is also DDO& DDR with BIE error.

God Bless,

Trevor40 

Sorry, I’ll clarify better. My fault multitasking. I have a 1971-D/D Ike Dollar made with half or more silver & little copper. The Denver’s were supposedly all clad & silver & proofs were mainly from S mint. Is there something I don’t know or can’t find? Or is this just an error....?

thank you for any consideration,

Travis Hale

Has anyone ever encountered this. I just did going through my late grandma’s lot & cant don’t info but for 1974-D. Any Ideas? 

Thank you,

Travis
