Islamic (Fatimid?), 2 Glass Jetons, 12th Century A.D.
|Glass| |Antiquities|, |Islamic| |(Fatimid?),| |2| |Glass| |Jetons,| |12th| |Century| |A.D.|, From the collection of Alex G. Malloy, former dealer in antiquities for 40 years.

The number of Islamic glass jetons that still exist indicates the original number vastly exceeded the number needed as coin weights. Combined with an almost total absensce of copper coinage, this seems to indicate glass jetons replaced copper as currency.
AM32365. 2 Islamic glass jetons, both Choice, first violet glass weight with central stamp with Arabic letter; second clear glass weight with star above a three line Arabic inscription; SOLD
