I've never had one. Seen them at shows, and think they're neat, but they'd cause a devil of a dilemma for my slabbed collection! :P
Sounds plausible to me. I don't read Persian at all, but the roundness of it does seem to indicate it's no earlier than the late-19th century or...
Unless there are modern fantasies? I know practically nothing about bullet money. FWIW, what I see there in the pictures looks plausible enough...
@chuckylucky5 beat me to it. Thai bullet money. I would not have been able to identify the ruler, as he did. Edit to add: here's the Wiki link...
Edit... hmm... no, this is the type I was thinking of, but they were struck in nickel, not aluminum.
I thought there was a (1970s? '80s?) 20-franc(?) in aluminum. Dang, now I gotta go browse Numista...

That's a nice example. I got a biggish bulk lot of French stuff not long ago, heavy on aluminum pieces like shown, including Vichy and mid-20th...
Meow might in fact have had a piece of silver there, though I think there were also some later uses of the same classic "Semeuse" (Sower) design...
I had not yet seen this post when I made my previous reply. That's even more interesting, and somewhat encouraging. As previously mentioned, I...
That trident is indeed the symbol of the modern nation of Ukraine, and appears on some of their present-day coins....
That's a great bulk-bag cherrypick!
Many thanks to the Quarter Master for those quarters. The elongated Indian cent and WW2 Vichy French coin were from me, but of course the...
I see you "avatar-ized" one of his pieces on a GA quarter. Bet he'll get a kick out of that.
You really have their creator, the Quarter Master himself to thank for those. I was merely the designated distributor and giveaway MC (game show...
Bump, to the top, to put this back above some of the closed stuff. Hopefully @physics-fan3.14 is just letting it run a while longer, and hasn't...
