i have this coin that my grandpa gave to my mom and its really important to me because its the only thing we have from him. i think its really interesting n i wanna know anything about it. my mom told me that the coin is from Lebanon and she got it sometime in the 70s.

supposedly back then rich families made their own coins to show how rich they are and that there are only three of these coins made (i have one, my cousin has one, and i guess someone from the family has one) the family went broke and they sold the coins. but we don’t know if that’s true or not.
about 20 years ago when we lived in Europe my mom went to a jewelry shop and the guy working there told her that its 24k gold (but someone else told us that 24k gold is to soft to make a coin…not sure about that) well… the guy told her that hes not sure how much its worth but that he can give her enough money to pay a few months rent for it (I’m guessing 5 months…not sure)
the pictures are really bad sorry
i found a coin similar on eBay and one side of the coin has almost the same border
but not exactly the same
and inside the border is some Arabic writing that i have no idea what it means.
the other side looks the two torches crossed and has some kind of vine going around the coin and a star in the middle of the vine. in the middle of the coin is a design that i cant even explain what it looks like.
i want to know if anyone has any idea where thins coin is from or how much its worth or anything about it. LCD TV .
please and thank you

You are correct; the photos are not very good. Are there any words or letters on your item? The first link below has several photos of world coins, so you may be able to find it there. There is also Arabic numerals and various other tools to identify coins. You might also try to find a copy of the catalog at the second link which may also help you identify your item, and you may be able to find it at your local library. The US American Buffalo coin pictured in the third link below is 24 karat gold, and jewelery is sometimes made of 24 karat gold. I hope this helps.
