Coin ID

[Mezrein503]

Hey folks, I have come across a collection of coins that belonged to my grandfather who served overseas in WWII. Lots of foreign coins, a few American ones as well, but we found this one, and have no idea what to make of it. Was hoping you guys could ID it for me. Thanks in advance.

FYI 1320 is actually 1902 AD

The date 1320 is a Hejira (AH) date based on the life of Mohammed, with the calendar starting during his lifetime (in 622 AD) and using a lunar year of 354 days instead of a solar year of 365 days. The 'regular' (Gregorian) date for 1320 AH is 1902 AD.

Morocco has been minting coins with AH dates in the 1300s for many years.

I love you guys, you're awesome at this stuff, and this is why I keep coming back here over and over and over again. We have several more coins that we'd like to have identified but that will be for a later time and date. We also have a ton of coins that seem to be made of a super light metal, almost feels like plastic but has more of a metal sound to it. As soon as we get all the coins photoed and identified I'll post them. I'd say there is well over 200 coins in the collection. I'll only photo individual coins and not duplicates. Thanks again guys, you rock!!!!
