Here's a coin, actually I think it may be a token as it has an "R" on one side. Anyone here read Persian or something similar?? Anyone know what this is? Size is 20.4mm or around the size of a US nickel. Terrible pics but it's the best I could do tonight! Could be silver but I don't know for sure. Anyone?
it is a token or medal from the Shamaqsudi sufi school. The logo is what is registered with the R. The text refers to Mir Qutb al-din Muhammad Angha who was a leading sufist. He died in 1962. He founded a school / discipline of sufism in the early 20th century and his son, Shah Maghsoud Sadegh Angha formalised the school and found followers. They both practiced in Europe so this was probably minted in Europe.
