Off-Topic: Can you identify this item?
A friend of mine asked me about this piece that needs identification. Can you help?
Comments from Wolfgang Schuster's sources: it is absolutely clear that the piece was fabricated quite recently, either as a souvenir for tourists or a fake for cheating collectors. Its legends representing wildly distorted kufic style a certain 'dinar struck at Miknasah (?) in year 497 (or 499)', crudely copying the popular gold issues of Almoravid 'Ali b. Tashufin (compare with http://www.zeno.ru/showgallery.php?cat=927), so both the style and technique features obviously betray a modern hand, perhaps diligent and accurate but absolutely illiterate in medieval arabic writing.

This 2013 new item is magnetic like 2008, same weight and same size. But it has a wider round border, quite different typography and flowers and number "1" are much closer to the edge.
