Also enjoy your posts Eugene. I do like the 1974 5 Piastres too. Bruce
I've seen this kind of thing on eBay. They're listed as "vacation coins", leftover coins from someone's holiday to a foreign country. Probably not...

It does look modern Numismat. Bruce
It is a counterstamp...very unusual style though Frank. Bruce
Looks good Davey...much better actually. I've only used olive oil once to clean a coin. I had a heavily encrusted US Half Cent that really needed...
Thanks Jwt, but like I said I'm taking it with me. It will keep me occupied.;) Bruce
