    Looks more like a Moroccan falus to me than a Jewish coin. 6 point stars do not a Jewish coin make.

    Actually six pointed is what the Star of David is.

    There are actually other uses of a 6 pointed star outside of Judaism is what I'm saying. This being one of those times. A Moroccancoin doesn't match it being a "Jewish" coin. That's all I was trying to get across.

    Our early coins used six pointed stars, that didn't make them Jewish coins., and for the most part Jewish coins don't use six pointed stars on them.
