Cool design . What's the umm... other side look like ?

 

Intreasting coin don't understand Korean good luck.

 

If I had to guess, it is most likely 1968 based on the photos you've provided us @Rushmore.

Looks like Hebrew to me. Is there a year on the other side?

 

It is a Israel 5 Argorat

 

That's neat , 3 Pomegranates . Does anyone know how to serve them ?

 

It's 68. 5 would have a gap on the left vertical stroke of the character.

 

We somehow started a family tradition of fruit salad with pomegranate for Christmas Eve dinner. Cut them open and scoop out the seed things; those are the edible part. Wear dark clothes, the juice stains.

 

I thought it was the gel around the seed...do the seeds taste good? I usually spit them out.

 

I was wondering what they were, until you mentioned that they were pomegranates. I wonder if there are many coins with fruits on them...

 

@JeffC . That would be a good thread .

 

I've seen the little juice-filled balls called "seeds" and "arils". Wikipedia says they are not arils, but sarcotestas.

The actual seeds don't taste great, at least to me, but they've got fiber and antioxidants, so I usually just crunch them down.
