True story. When my father died, about 5 years ago, my family came in and helped me sort out my house. It was a mess, because basically my father and I rarely threw away anything. Anyways, my cousin and I got to this old book of foreign coins. I really liked it, because the graphics in it were big, and spectacular, I think at least. But we finally decided on throwing it away. (I still have another book on foreign coins. But it is less complete–and the graphics are much too small, I think. I digress.)
Anyways, I remember this one foreign coin I used to look at in the book. It was an old coin, from an Arab or Muslim country. And I will try to describe it as best I can. It was a pentagram, in a circle, in a hexagram, in another circle. I used to look and muse over it often. But I could never for the life of me understand what it was, or what it symbolized.
I did eventually look up some of the symbols. But it doesn’t make anymore sense, what I found in any event. The pentagram could be from the occult. And the hexagram could be the seal of Solomon. King Solomon of Israel is said to have a six-pointed ring, with the “True Name of God” (whatever that may be) inscribed around it. Again, just more confusing.
Yes, I know that pointed figures can symbolize stars. But these had more lines than that, I think. They weren’t just stars, at least I think. They were many-lined figures. IOW, a pentagram and a hexagram, as I said.
So I now leave it in your capable hands, members of the board: What could it mean?
