<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 1660187, member: 40017&quot;]Not really my speciality - but I can tell you how to date. If you look at the OP first picture, and turn it the other way up, the accession date is now at the bottom, reading 1293. This tells you that it is Abdul Hamid II who started from 1876 in Christian dates, through to 1909. Now at the top of the coin is the Arabic numbers 30, which tells you the year within his reign - so approx 1906. (Dates are approx because the Islamic year does not correspond exactly to the Christian year. In fact year 30 for Abdul Hamid correponds to 1904 according to Krause.)</p><p>This in my Krause gives a valuation in VF of USD 14 - but I would have to say I find very few buyers for these, and with no silver content, and only really F rather than VF by non-American standards, I would expect to get no more than 1 or 2 GBP for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
