Hello, i got these coins a while ago and i never figured out where they were from. I think one of them is from Iran, but i really have no clue. Can somebody help me out? tell me if you cant read something, as long as it isnt the arabic writing
Neither one is from Iran. They use real Arabian number characters, not what we in the West call "Arabic Numerals", so their coins wouldn't show denominations of "10" and "100" in western numbers. Both pictures of the small coin, and the side of the large coin without the "100" are all upside down. The small coin is a brass Morroco 10 santimat, Y#84, dated 1987 (Western date) - 1407 (After Hejira date). Krause does not give mintage figures for this F.A.O. one-year issue, and gives it a 40¢ value in Unc. The larger one is dated 1403 (AH) - 1983 (Western), but it doesn't have any of the designs shown in the Quick Identifier section of Krause, and as I can't read Arabic further identification of this 100 something, probably bronze, will have to await either someone who can read Arabic, or someone familiar with the design.
thanks thank you satootoko and everybody else. I really had no idea, one of my friends said it was from Iran, but I trust you guys more. thank you Giant2789
