    Well, I don't know for sure, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's Egyptian.

    All the other coins I recieved were either egyptian or Iraqi so thats what im thinking but I know very little about either.

    The little sticker says 140 years old. From what info I gathered. the sticker could be up to 20 years old.

    I took the sticker off and there is no letter/number so what could it be. Also, it weighs over 10 grams where from my research, the 5 para weighs 2.5grams.

    Then it is a 20 para 1277/4. The official weight of a 20 para is 10.8 grams.
