4 posts in this topic

Or at least what I think is Arabic, if I'm wrong it wouldn't be the first time.  This was one of the "foreign coins" in a lot I recently stole, I mean won, at acution and is the last one to ID.  Weight is 15g.

It's from 1980 (AH 1400). Egyptian silver E£1 coin; the weight is exactly right. KM #508. That's Sadat with the dove celebrating when they agreed to stop losing wars to the Israelis if we would just buy them off by showering them with about as much military aid as we were giving the Israelis; they kicked out the Soviet advisors and started buying our stuff (late 1970s). Attractive piece.
