I just returned from a trip to the UAE, and found 2 coins at an antique dealer. I am seeking help learning more about them, specifically what is the origin? Are they worth anything? I don't have a photo at the moment, but here is a description: -black, but probably tarnished (assuming silver?) -about the size of a US nickel -dates indicate either 1327 or 1337 (in arabic so it is hard to be sure, but I'm almost certain it is 1327) -one side has 2 men, one seated in a chair and either he is holding a staff or smoking an arabic sheesha. This man seems to have a hat -the other man is standing behind the chair, and seems to have a turban and is holding something over the other man (a fan?) -both men are in long gowns and both have long pointed beards Any help would be great! Thank you for considering a reply or sharing some insights.
1327 in the Hijri Calender is the same as the year 1909 in the Gregorian Calender so the coin or token is probally from 1909 if not a novelty. Could possibly been a pilgrim token for the trip to mecca? sounds kinda like this one except the people were standing.
