It is raw, and about the size of a US dime. It was struck in Fes Hazrat (when the Sultan lived in the city, it was given the honorific &quot;Hazrat&quot;). These gold coins had a very low mintage, because gold was not a common metal in Morocco. These benduqi have an even lower survival rate, because they were often used as decoration or melted. </p><p><br /></p><p>Both sides of the coin have the same simple design - the date and mint name surrounding a rose. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, tell me what you think! </p><p><br /></p><p>Post any crudely struck gold coins you might have, and tell us about them. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1183973[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1183974[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
