should I try/request to move this ID request for assistance to the Islamic Forum?
I added this picture because I couldn't find the HP thread anymore.  I remember that Mme Slokind had a similar coin.. and was wondering if my rectangular coin shares any common properties with the HP one.

Hi Raymond
I belive to give it a shot at Islamic coins section, it is most likely Islamic, I find like it in lots with coins that comes from Lebanon and Syria.

I would assume bronze?  The pic is that of Feb 15 posting

PS the one that I posted on Feb 16, the Harry Potter coin is not "ancient" as far as Ancients go and I believe it's Islamic.  Can't find the previous thread - back in November or December I think on the H.P. coin.  Just thought that there seemed to be some similarity in style.
