[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3495792, member: 99642"]On the top 2 , the writing may not even be Arabic anyway, and those 2 are certainly the oldest of the three. In India they use Hindi or Sanskrit, do they not? On the bottom one, it's the newest of the three, and I'm pretty sure it's Arabic and I believe I'm reading 3 Girsh in the middle of the coin in the bottom pic. It's really hard to tell if the coins are right side up, or up side down, or sideways. As for a date, only on the third coin, on the next to last pic, there's a series of numbers/letters on the bottom, that looks like S 119. I have no idea what the "S" lookalike could mean but the 119 could be part of a year. If the writing is not too old, then the Arabic numbers 1 and 9 are just like ours. BTW, are you sure your dimensions on the last coin are correct? You say 1 mm. Could you mean 10 mm or 11 mm ? We need to find a way to recruit some Middle Eastern folks to our [B][I]Coin Talk !![/I][/B][/QUOTE]
