I've seen the entries on the forum many times and I can "hear" many of you already stating... "It is just a 'belly dancer' decoration!", and I have found a few forum entries on imitations of this coin but much larger than the original (to use as a decoration).
But, what strikes me is that:
- There's no hole to sew it to clothing
- The size is much smaller than the typical belly dancer tokens I've seen, actually matching very closely the coin above.
So the questions are:
- Could this be a contemporary counterfeit?
- Is it a different coin altogether?
- Any other ideas?
- Could this be the real deal? (I really, really doubt it)
- Provided it is a "token" should I add it to the Exonumia section?
Here's the data:
Diameter: 12.8mm - Weight: 0.35g - Width: 0.5mm (approx.)
Year: AH1223 - Regnal year: 28
Photos: Two photos in detail + one blurry photo to better show the color



Thanks for your valued opinions,
Alex.
