<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tbirde, post: 69277, member: 85&quot;]The exact year of issue can be determined by the regnal year on the other side. The regnal year is the then current year of the monarch&#039;s reign. On this coin of Abdul Hamid II it would be any year from 25 to 30 (small Arabic numbers located near the bottom center of the other side). That would put the Christian dates at roughly (since most Muslims use a lunar calendar) at 1901-1906. </p><p>The coin is also low grade silver (10%) and contains .0032 of an ounce of the metal.</p><p>You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
