Gorgeous collection, @Siberian Man ! A lot of fantastic History you have captured. I have a couple to toss in: Ottoman Turks Sultan Mahmed II 1451-1481 took Constantinople in 1453 Serez mint AR 1.2g Ottoman Empire Suleiman the Magnificent 1520-1566 AV Sultani CE Constantinople mint 1520 19mm 3.5g
I am looking for Turkish gold from the 1946 and 1947. I have a few but some seem to never show up for sale. Is there a book or website that delves into the gold coins deeper than Krause? Thank you. A few of my Turkish coins, a 500, 250, and a 100.
2-1/2 kurus 1949, brass, weight - 3,15 g., size - 21 mm, thickness - 1,15 mm, mintage - 2372000 pcs. Such coins were released at 1948-51.
1 kurus 1939, copper-nickel, weight - 2,4 g., size - 18,5 mm, thickness - 1,19 nn, mintage - 21600000 pcs. Such coins were released at 1938-44.
10 kurus 1975, aluminium, weight - 1,35 g., size - 21 mm, thickness - 1,8 mm, mintage - 517000 pcs. "FAO". Single release.
Individual coins from the mint set. Pardon the package glare but I think I got the detail on these so zoom in. The old man with the cigarette has some incredible details, as do the others. Bronze ones first. The 1 Kurus has some light toning.
