I have a smaller piece (18mm) myself with the same date. I'll stick with my cheap jewelry or decoration theory. [IMG][IMG]
It's what is known as a Maria Theresa Thaler. They were first struck by Austria and portray the empress of that name who reigned 1740-80. The coin...
The Arabic date sounds like 1222 which is roughly equivalent to 1808AD. Gold and low grade silver coins were predominant then so if this is brass...
The picture is so tiny it can't be made out. How about a written description? Blind guess: a pre-decimal British penny?
The coin itself contains about $2 of silver and if it weren't set in jewelry it may be worth about $5. You might also try a library for a copy of...
Saudi Arabia 50 halala (1/2 Riyal), copper-nickel, dated 1400 AH (Nov. 1979-Nov. 1980 AD), mintage 21.6 million.
That is a VERY beat up and worn bronze 1 centavo from the Dominican Republic. It looks to be dated either 1942 or 1952. Its value is 1 cent.
It's an aluminum bronze alloy which was used through 1992 and then replaced by aluminum.
Good pics! It looks to be in Fine condition at best, worth about $5 or less.
I have a scanner and a digital camera. Both work fine. I'd just advise that you practice at it until you get better results.
That Iraqi 50 fils is KM-100 in the Standard Catalog of World Coins (try a library). They were minted in only those two years with 8.8 million in...
Got a picture?
My guess would be one of the Indian States' coins, pre 1800. Try asking at the South Asia Coin Group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/southasia-coins/
There were 3 million copper-nickel 10 rappen coins minted that year and it may be worth around $1 with moderate wear. You might also try a library...
Sounds like a copper 8 Maravedis coin ('B & M'). The mintmark would be below the 'cross'. It's listed as C-170 in my Standard Catalog of World...
The 2000 1 oz. silver 10 Yuan Panda coin is listed in the 2006 Standard Catalog of World Coins as Y-979 but no mintage is listed. It does have an...
Correction: The 1863 10 centesimi from the Paris mint (without mintmark) had a mintage of 80 million and is KM-11.2. The 1866 Strasbourg mint...
Is the date 1839? How about a pic of the other side?
A British farthing? What is the diameter of the coin?
I believe 1627 was the year Jacques Lemercier (c.1585 - 1654), a French Renaissance architect, began to build Louis XIV's palace at Versailles.
