Hi, my boss told me to find out what this coin is, it has a Muslim/Russian style castle on the back, with what looks like people standing in front, and a peace sign thing on the front over soemthing that I can not make out, if anyone knows what this is please tell me.

I inverted a set of the scans so you can see it better thanks.

I think, ERB, you're referring to St Basil's Cathedral in Moscow.

There are some similarities, bt it's definitely not that.

I'm defiitely thinking it's more eastern, possibly an Indian palace of some kind.

Apparently it is an Aladdin's castle token, I had no clue the ones that were around when I were younger had the lamp and name on them, a guy on another board told me.

Dunno what year or anything but apparently that is what it is, guess I was thinking too much when I saw it.
