    Hey all,

    I am posting this coin to find out what it is and if it has any value in its condition. I can not read the writing so I have no place to start. Hopefully you guys can help me.

    Thanks
    Larry

    It looks like a coin from Yemen. If it is 28mm and made of copper-Nickel, then it is a 1 Riyal coin and probably valued less than $1. Your second photo (reverse) needs to be rotated 180-degrees. The reverse depicts both the western date and the Hejira AH date (both written in Arabic numbers). The western date is 1976. [You see the western date written as 1-9-V-7. This is 1976 in Arabic].
