<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Robidoux Pass, post: 3493705, member: 96691&quot;]Having lived in the Middle East, I have several Bedouin burka or niqab (face coverings) on which &quot;coins&quot; such as these are sewn.&nbsp; There are also other coins, Turkish and other states, which are fake silver; any authentic ones are small denomination copper, nickel, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp; I suspect it&#039;s meant to represent the wealth of the old Ottoman Empire. </p><p><br /></p><p>The squashed surface and the uniform hole are the telltales.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And having attended many weddings, this looks like a &quot;coin&quot; that is given away at weddings. I&#039;ve picked up many off the floor.&nbsp; And if they were indeed gold, they would not be on the floor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
