Exactly, and "Agamemnon's mask" on the other side. Souvenir from Greece, possibly 1960's - 70's.

How interesting! I have never seen this particular style of numbering and dating before, I think it must be an exclusively Portuguese practice?

The early 1900's is also probably right - even the dress of the Shah on the coins looks 1900's.

The date on the coin is 1381=1961 Gregorian

My Latin is a bit rusty (to say the least :) ), but the letters U and V being interchangeable, the inscription could be read as A DIVUM, which can be translated as FROM GOD

I meant the mark of an inspector of the Liége proof bench. Malherbe was a manufacturer, they didnt use a crowned M as their trademark but " PJ Malherbe a Liége"

Hi,
It looks very similar to an Inspector's Belgian proof mark, of the type used between 1853 and 1877. If that is indeed the case, I would expect that the barrel would also have the EL or ELG proof...

Hi,
That’s the Kut Al Amara siege clasp for the Ottoman WW1 medal (Harp Madalyası aka Gallipoli Star), so it probably says just that, Kut'ül Ammare Kuşatması. For confirmation you could consult a...

Pichangatti apparently means "hand knife" (Egerton). As the Tamil Word for knife is katti, the word pichangatti doesn't seem related to bıçak.

It seems to be the shoulder belt and pouch of an officer of the Norfolk Yeomanry (The King's Own Royal Regiment). Their 1/1st Battalion fought at Gallipoli in 1915, which is probably how the belt...

Hi namesake :) ,
I can’t make out the field, but judging from the supporters (two lions regardant), it’s possibly the Swedish coat of arms. If that is the case, I suppose Carolus Rex could be any...
