    Hi all,
    I don't even know if it is old or not. but haven't been able to find it. maybe just not looking in the right places.
    Any information would be awesome.
    It's the size of a quarter and has the same edge as a US quarter does.
    Silver in color.

    A bearded guy in a turban isn't always Middle Eastern.;)
    It is Indian, probably a commemmorative token/coin for the depicted holy man. It is marked with the Devanagari number 999, so I expect it to be almost pure silver.
    @daveydempsey will probably know more.

    Not a coin, almost certainly a token.

    He looks like the well known Indian Karaoke guy, Gerupta Singh.:rolleyes:
