Unusual mark; crescent moon and star above a shield surrounded by a wreath

Post by Golden925 »

I've got this silver bangle which has an unusual mark on the inside, and despite trying as hard as I can to identify it, I'm not getting anywhere. I wondered if anyone recognised this mark or would be able to supply some information regarding it? I would really appreciate it, thank you!

Hi,

I think the mark points to Libya. Perhaps a more modern example than those shown below:

There is an interesting 2016 article about Libyan silver in the Libya Herald at https://libyaherald.com/2016/03/libyan- ... nerations/
