73 on the AT Pro... Dime sized, Floral and a couple letters visible

Dgrub · Jun 18, 2022

It rings up as a solid 73. That's usually aluminum and junk for me. I believe this could be aluminum, but not junk? It is pretty solid, but very light. Won't bend, but has definitely been deformed over the years.

Found in the yard of a mid 1800s farmhouse. Seems to be a flower and other shapes on one side. I can make out some parallel lines and possibly the letters "..LL" on the other side.

Any ideas?

I think you nailed it. You can see the stalk of wheat in one of the earlier pictures. Nice find and nice i.d.!

Nice find Dgrub, that’s not a coin you see everyday!
Looks like it might have been in a fire.
Great job on the I.D Voriax!

Interesting find! So how does a 1 agorah coin from Israel (Est. 14 May, 1948) wind up at a mid 1800s farmyard/house?

The house is still inhabited and has been since about 1830-1850.. the owner isn't sure. I'm guessing someone lost a souvenir!

I disagree with the Israeli coin theory. Look closely at the pics again. The dug iten has the "grains" of "wheat"? in relief (raised from the surface. The pic of the actual coin shows the "grains" pressed into the face.
I could be very wrong, but my perspective says they are two different items.
Unless the first is a very old coin , and second is a newer version?

It is without question the coin Vorax identified.
