    Well here in the UK it is coming into the start of car boot sale season. I'm not sure what you would call them in the USA, lots of people turning up in cars full of things they don't want and sell them from tables.

    Anyway, our first local one was at the weekend, and as my wife does vintage fairs, it is a good place for her to get stock. Of course, me being me, I cannot resist a good rummage, and I was looking through a small box of various small items, when the seller said "You can have the whole box for a fiver". I thought it would just be rude not to, so five pounds later and I had a box of......stuff!

    Looking through it all was fun, but by far the most curious item was a very old looking, and slightly bashed, medallion. At first I thought the picture was of a man looking through a telescope. Then after looking a bit closer, it appears to be a sword going through someone who looks like your typical 'Jesus' figure, and a Z at the other end. The script on the other side is nothing I recognise, but it looks like it may be from somewhere like Iran or somewhere similar.

    So, can anyone tell me what this is? The photographs have come out quite bright, it definately looks much darker and older in real life.

    Thanks
    Hamish

      Typical Jesus figure ?.hummmmm..
      I don’t think a Muslim country like Iran at any period of time would have a coin with Jesus on it ,,unless like you said it’s a sword going through his head and it’s a commemorative celebration of when they killed Jesus

      Yes apostate,,He is alive ....But He did die,,He was killed and resurrected on the third day I don’t think we were disputing that point at all
      I was just saying I don’t think Iranian coin would have a Image of Jesus
    11. apostata apostata, 8 months ago
      you missing the point Vynil , the point is , is it a Falize release, IMO it is not , but i am not an expert

      "left facing Christ, with Hebrew initial "Alef" (for 'Adoneinu' - 'Our Lord') & "Yeshu" ('Jesus')"
    16. Vynil33rpm Vynil33rpm, 8 months ago
      Yes so it is not Muslim from Iran
      Is all I meant from the beginning
    17. apostata apostata, 8 months ago
      no i meant i am the moslim , it is always fun to to help maybe i can consult the rabbi , we see each other one in a while

      but actually i don,t see what i am doing wrong, only there might be a grammar interpration trouble past tense versus past participle

      IMO this is an VULGUS coin for conviction , what did i miss DAVE , you are reffering to an Venetian school release, no sweat HAGD
    18. apostata apostata, 8 months ago

    19. Vynil33rpm Vynil33rpm, 8 months ago
