    Hi,

    First post here - I hope it's not poor form a new member to be asking for a coin ID...

    These two came in a job lot of world silver coins. I know they're in well circulated condition but I think they're great. Can anyone tell me what they are?

    Thanks!

    Both are from Turkey under the rule of Abdul Hamid II.
    The smaller is a 1 Kurush from 1903(1293/29).
    The larger is a 2 Kurush from 1893(1293/19).
