Hello, I am new here (actually just signed up today) and new to collecting coins. I am trying to find out what these three coins are so I can file them correctly. I have tons of world coins and just cant seem to find these, any help would be great...!
not a world collector myself but have been givin some, best thing to do is google search by putting in the date followed by what words are on the reverse of the coin. the last pick however may be a little bit more difficult. Hopefully someone with more expertize in world coins can help you out. Welcome to CT
Based on your Introduction thread, if you have as many foreign coins as you indicated, it might be a good idea to invest in the Krause Standard Catalogs of World Coins. Chris
Third coin is 10 milliemes from Egypt, years around 1950s-60s. You can find out the year by looking for Arabic numbers meaning in Google/Wikipedia. Value is in the 10 USD area, not sure though.
The Islamic date 1385AH is at 4:00 and the western date 1965CE is at 7:00 in the top picture. Those dates raise a problem however. The obverse and reverse appear to match KM#395, an aluminum-bronze issue during the United Arab Republic time period, mintage 16,079,999 in 1380AH/1960CE. The only other listings for that coin in Krause are an unspecified mintage in 1377Ah/1958CE, and a proof version in 1386AH/1966 CE. No 10 milleme with the pictured dates is listed. Baaaaaaaad guess. KM#395 is listed at $0.80-2.50 in VF-Unc. EDITED TO ADD:My bad. Perhaps I shouldn't try to read Arabic dates before my first cup of morning coffee. It is indeed KM#395 dated 1380AH/1960CE.
the third coin with bird (eagle/kite) and 2 stars is always confusing. libya/syria/egypt i guess have somewhat similar en-sigmas
The 1st 2 are what is called Scottish Shillings as the Lion Rampant differs from the English version of 3 lions There was also a earlier version of both
The first two are from Great Britain. I believe that De Orc is correct that they are referred to as Scottish Shillings due to the lion depicted on the reverse. The last one is a 10 Milliemes from Egypt. Mumbapuri is correct that the eagle with the stars is used on coins of Syria, Egypt & maybe a couple other countries. This coins date ends in a "dot" which is a zero. I read the western date (at 7:00) as 1-9-6-0 or 1960. I believe the KM value is listed at $2.25 in UNC.
The Hejira date (at 5:00 on the coin) is 1380 which is June 25 1960. This confirms the 1960 date on the coin.
