    It's me, Jen. Hopelessly confused as always about what the **** kind of coin I have. This one, I don't even know where it's from nor have anything to go off of to guess.
    There are No dates, no amount specified, and it's not in a language that I can read. it's about the size of a quarter, and is has a worn down silver look to it.

    Would someone, anyone, tell me what this is, where it's from, and possible value. Much obliged, comrades.

    I believe this is a copper-nickel? 5 piastres coin from Egypt (1960's)

    Actually the Islamic date is at 4 o'clock and the western date is at 8 o'clock, both in true Arabic numbers, and the denomination (also in an Arabic number) is the large character in the center of the coin.

    Value?

    8/10 of a US cent at current exchange rates.
