No, that is very clearly a coin from Colombia.
That's what coins from Invisibilitania are like. They're... well... invisible.
Looks like a coin from Invisibilitania! ;) ?!?
What Mat said. Not super valuable, but not too bad for ten bucks, either. Nice affordable piece of ancient history.
PS- carbon spotted, to boot? Yeah... No. Don't waste your money. That coin's worth less than a buck. Fine for a folder or album, maybe, but a...
Not a bad lookin' cent, but not remotely worth sending in, I'm afraid. You'd spend many multiples of the coin's value in fees. Even in full Red...
While this statement is technically correct, the OP is not incorrect in referring to "Islamic coins", as Islam is also a culture. So yes, "...
Does sound like a good time. Hmm.
Looks OK to me?
Update: the deal went down. I shipped the 3cN off to my swap partner this morning. The Pillar dollar/8R arrived yesterday. It is nicer in hand....

@stevex6 - this one is rainbow-licious! Love it! [IMG] (The new avatar, not so much.) ;)
@Stork collects Albanian coins, so perhaps she will stop by. I'm loath to call Fascist coins "beautiful", really, but they're often handsome...
Definite griffin. Teos, maybe? Edit: that was just my quickie first impression. Of course a lot of other Greek polities used griffons/gryphons...
Indeed! With a tambourine. And a... basketball with a knife stuck in it?!? LOL ;)
Very interesting! And a nice coin to have! Can't tell if it is the same coin the OP posted, though?
I don't know, but that's an oldie. I'd guess 1970s at the latest? My first mailorder purchases were from Littleton, around that time. Looks...
