Anyone tell me what the four coins are that are with the 1906 dollar ? Weights are beneath the coins.
It looks like the 45.1 gram coin is a Turkish Ottoman Empire 500 kurush gold coin, minted in A.H. 1327 (1909) The weight of the coin itself is somewhat less, about the same weight as a US $20 gold piece.
Brilliant. I did some googling based on that information and some of these coins are doing £1,000, others £10,000-£12,000 based on rare mints in VF / XF condition. Shame about the mount ! How do i determine the mint ? http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=332041&AucID=239&Lot=5410
Having checked the obverse against some rarer examples, this appears to be more regular and basically the value is in the weight Still stumped on the others
I think your coin is like the one depicted here: http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=595863&AucID=433&Lot=22700
The coin on the upper left is a 1979 Iraq Year of the Child 100 dinars .7665 oz gold The coin on the upper right is a 1980 Iraq 15th century of Hegira 100 dinars
Thanks again ! You've been incredinly helpful Back to the Kurush - the symbol above the crossed quivers on mine is a straight line. On the image you've linked to it's more of a flag.
Those are Arabic numbers you are referring to, and they indicate the year of the sultan's reign. The year is 1 on your coin, 3 in the coin I gave the link to.
Just need the coin top centre, now. It appears to be dated 1968, and top right on the obverse side is a map of the arab nations
That top center piece is a tricky one to identify, because it appears to be a medal rather than a coin.
if i remember correctly that belongs to Yemen last time i saw the coin it was more than 20 years ago so u will have to verify
