Forgive me if I am telling everyone something they already know but I just spotted this auction coming up here in the UK. "The Lyall Collection of...
I cannot claim to be an expert on English hammered and I often use online help from the predecimal.com forum where there are a number of the top...
Wow! If it makes anything like that amount I will be delighted!
Here is the last to be identified of the recent batch. If I have got it right it is an Afghanistan 1 Rupee AH1298 (~1881) for Abdur Rahman....

Yes - appears to be Ethiopia 25 cents, KM# 36. I can't read the writing but they appear to be a single issue dated 1936 on their calendar, which...
In case anyone is interested, I sent this picture on to Numista as they didn't have one before and it is now uploaded at:...
