Federation of Damanhur - heard of it?

Postby 68Camaro » Sun Nov 04, 2012 4:43 pm

Found it at the dump bank today. 10 Cali coin for the Federation of Damanhur. A bit bizzare.

Looks like the one shown here but is dated 2002

Says it's aluminum but it's heavier than that, and magnetic, so that part of the reference is wrong.

Cool find. Never heard of Damanhur. So when are you going to go spend that coin?

Wow, that's even more bizzare. Yep, that's the coin, though the imprint is the one in my link not this other one. Rarely found outside the commune... Wonder how this one made its way to a TD Bank? 25 euro... I think I'll keep it.
