So is this what they looked like before they were “shaved” to make more coins?

Kind of surprising that they're handling it without gloves on. Maybe it makes no difference with pure gold.
I wonder who "owns" it, and how much it's worth.

Good - I was wondering where I had dropped it. I will send them my address so they can return it to me.

I’m not very good at this sort of thing but I’d say the engraving at the top of the “tails” side looks like Arabic. Can anyone confirm? Can anyone read any of the inscriptions?

So what are the odds that a 2,200 year old coin weighs 1 Oz Avoirdupois?
