    ~34mm, ~19.9grams, special characters around edge, repeated pattern.
    Someone suggested Moroccan...and rejected Saudi Arabian.
    The fellow looks French; so perhaps Algerian? All are guesses!
    Thanks for your help! wlw

    Hmm. Numista lists it as 0.900 silver. Guess I would go with Krause on this one...
