[QUOTE="willieboyd2, post: 1837788, member: 4910"]Egyptian Magic Coins usually look like this: [IMG]http://www.brianrxm.com/posts/post_egyptmagiccoin_generic.jpg[/IMG] The obverse has a seated Pharoah and the reverse has a Sphinx and Pyramids. They are usually made in America and have been since the early 1900's. This one came from an Ebay seller in France: Ebay is good for these items as they are unusual, inexpensive, and no one is going to return one because of a disagreement over the grade. [IMG]http://www.brianrxm.com/posts/post_egyptmagiccoin_france.jpg[/IMG] The obverse has an Egyptian obelisk, a temple, and two lines of Sphinxes. The reverse is the standard one. I wonder why someone decided that the French coin needed a different obverse. I would ponder this more but I have to go and make Tana Leaf tea for Kharis. :)[/QUOTE]
