<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 2372819, member: 74834&quot;]Not knowing much detail about it, I should think this is an Afghan Civic Copper, a locally produced coin from the 18th or 19th century. Although Islam forbids depicting objects, in the course of time there have been many exceptions to this rule, and the Afghan Civic Coppers form a particularly varied and interesting area. Animals are often depicted. There are many varieties and they are often in lesser condition - but still much sought after. Yours is certainly a desirable coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
