    I have this coin, and have had several coin collectors look at it, but no one knows what it is. They say it may be a middle eastern coin and ancient. I'm hoping someone might recognize this piece. The pictures aren't too good -- bad camera -- so hopefully, someone can help. Thanks! :confused:

    The reverse shows the Sassanian fire altar with attendants design. Can you provide better pictures, preferably out of the flip?

    Good idea. I'll see if I can get some better shots.

    Ok, I attempted to make the pictures better, but not much luck. See if you can identify now. I've include what I can, hope you can tell. Thanks!

    It looks like a civic copper coin from Afganistan.

    The obverse has a design of "Flower between two Swords". And the reverse has rular name with date. This is listed as KM #16 (V #26) and was issued with date AH 1241 (AD 1825).
