<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 8209984, member: 15588&quot;]The Arabic very likely reads &quot;My Faith in Allah Protects me&quot; يقيني بالله يقيني transliterated as &quot;yaqini biallah yaqini&quot; and pronounced roughly as &quot;ya-quee-nee bi-Allah ya-quee-nee&quot; (the Arabic &quot;q&quot; is a glottal and pronounced at the back of the throat).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m guessing this is some sort of a mosque token. The building looks like a mosque as well. It could be an older depiction of the mosque at Medina in Saudi Arabia (<i>Al-Masjid an-Nabawi</i>). This might also have served as a &quot;faith token&quot; of some sort that Muslims would carry in their pockets, either to remind them of their faith or as a religious variation on a &quot;good luck&quot; token.</p><p><br /></p><p>My (somewhat uneducated) guess would be that it&#039;s a generic token and so you might have trouble finding more information. But I see many coins like it while searching &quot;Islamic token&quot; or &quot;Mosque token.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
