Mysterious Egyptian Token Magic CoinThe coin or token shows Egyptian symbols on both sides, one side has the sphinx and pyramids,the other side has a pharaoh and various hieroglyphic symbols.Some are plain round tokens, others have loops for wearing them.They would probably fall into the category of "magic coins" or "good luck coins".They have been around since at least 1905, when a listing for one appeared in the1905 Sears & Roebuck mail-order catalog.Sphinx, Four Pyramids, and SunburstEgyptian Pharoah seated on throne, throne has cat supports, surrounded by Hieroglyphic symbolsOne even made it into the movies, appearing in the 1946 David Selznick film "Duel in the Sun",a "Western" set in the 1880's at a large southwestern cattle ranch.The 1905 Sears & Roebuck mail-order catalog item is"The latest craze. Gentlemen's fob", silver plated German silver.Although one was sold by Sears in 1905, they were probably mass-produced in the 1920's whenthe "Egyptian Fad" started with the 1922 discovery of the tomb of the Pharoah Tutankhamun or "King Tut". Supposedly these items are sold to tourists in Egypt, but I visited Egypt in 1987 but never saw one for sale there.Some of these coins have a flat relief. The creator and designer of these items is unknown, but the design was probably trademarked at some time. ShippingWe Send All Items Next Day Or Within 2 Days, After That All Depends On Your Location.
