I don't understand the question. Over 400 million people write and speak Arabic in northern Africa and the Middle East. There must be billions of coins inscribed in Arabic.

Until you post images of front and back, this thread is useless.

 

Syria.
One pound 1971.

 

Palestine.
50 mils 1927.

 

United Arab Emirates.
One dirham 1989. This coin is equal to 27 cents.

 

Liban.
50 piastres 1968.

 

State of Qatar.
10 dirham 1973.

 

Iraq.
250 fils 1982.

 

Jordan.
One hundred fils 1977.

 

Yemen.
5 fils 1971.

 

Egypt.
One pound 2007.

 

Ah, now the topic is not useless any more. But if the OP wants to know more about a specific piece, it would indeed be extremely helpful to post an image of the piece ...

The real winner is the 1927 Palestine 50 mils -- a prime example, and worth 2 or 3 times more than all the rest of the coins put together.

DON'T clean it!!!

 

I

am when I get home I haven't had time to do so! I promise

 

I have one of these as well. I lived in Dubai for year (1996) and my dad kept some of the coins from there. My dad gave me all of his coins last year so I have them now.

There we go!!! Sorry for the lateness!!

 

Now that is a coin from Thailand. (As you may have guessed from Siberian Man's images, the Thai alphabet is different from Arabic characters.) What you have is a 5 baht coin from the late 1970s featuring King Rama IX (Bhumibol) and, on the other side, Garuda who is half man, half bird ...
