    I'm new here. Not even sure this is a coin. I'll post a photo soon, but wanted to see if there's any info out there. We have a coin that is sort of bowl shaped. It has a Magen David and two Olive branches around the edge of the outside and it has a more stylized 6-pointed star on the inside with a number 1329. and most interestingly it has Arabic script inside and out. Any ideas?

    Ok, I finally got the photos. I hope they help. I have one more, but it is too big to upload.

    Anybody got an idea where I can get the Arabic translated?

    The Muslim year of 1329 is equivalent to 1911AD. Morocco also has used the 6 pointed star on its coins. This sounds like a damaged silver 1329 dated 2-1/2, 5 or 10 Dirhams.
