In many, if not most, cases ID requires clear views of both sides, and usually some indication of size and metallic composition. The design on several coins in your first photo, including the one at the lower left, is a "toughra", a symbol used on many Ottoman Empire coins in the 19th and early 20th centuries. That indicates that the coin is probably Turkish or Egyptian, or possibly from an Indian Native State. __________________ Ethical conduct is being honest when no one is watching.   03-18-2008, 12:29 PM   #5 (permalink) Brit in Texas Senior Member     Join Date: Mar 2008 Posts: 335 The group of six are all British or British empire. Hard to tell from the pics but I think the top left and bottom right are British (top left 1d, bottom right 1/2 d) while the rest are for somwhere or other in the empire. All look to be 100 years or more old given the monarchs.   03-18-2008, 12:58 PM   #6 (permalink) Ardatirion FVTVE FATVM     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha Posts: 2,662 My Mood: Hontonai is right, the pics are really inadequate. Try posting each coin individually, you'll get much better responses. The two bottom bronze coins are Byzantine folles, probably of Maurice Tiberius or a similar emperor. Make the scans more detailed and rotate the reverse 90 degrees right for the left image and 180 degrees for the right one and we can give you a full ID. __________________ My Ancient Coin Collection   03-18-2008, 12:59 PM   #7 (permalink) Overlord Member     Join Date: Jan 2008 Posts: 35 Quote: Originally Posted by hontonai ... or possibly from an Indian Native State. Yes, a similar symbol is found on Hyderabad State coins.   03-18-2008, 01:21 PM   #8 (permalink) Overlord Member     Join Date: Jan 2008 Posts: 35 I think the second scan shows a replica of the medal issued to commemorate the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.   03-18-2008, 02:10 PM   #9 (permalink) acanthite Akiba haiozi     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Western hemisphere Posts: 1,822 My Mood: The group in the upper left corner are almost certainly all Egyptian 10 and 20 paras, plus some fractional qirshes, all from the Ottoman period. I would need to see more detail to identify them all. __________________ 'The vanquished always seek to imitate their conquerors in their dress, insignia, beliefs, and other customs and usages...' - Ibn Khaldun, c. 1380   03-18-2008, 03:16 PM   #10 (permalink) halfadime Junior Member   Join Date: Mar 2008 Posts: 6 Hey folks thanks for your time to replying the post...
