    I'm not sure what this coin is. I looked in a book and there are similar designs for Hejaz & Nejd in the Saudi Arabia section. The coin is pretty worn and obviously someone drilled a hole in it, but hopefully you guys can see well enough. Also, whatever it turns out to be, any estimate on the worth? Probably not much with the condition and hole.
    Thanks!

    It is probably Ottoman empite (turkey). on the bottom pic, which is upside down i could make out the first 2 digits of the date which looks looks 12XXAH, maybe 1222 or 1223? 1200AH=1785AD.

    Hope this helps.

    Oh, Thank you so much! I think you are definitely correct. According to this website ( http://www.aaabid.com/TRcoin.htm ), the second and third ones on the right look similar to this one.

    Thanks for getting me on the right path.
