Hi All I have this unknown Egyptian coin...can any of you coin genuises out there tell me what i've got cheers
Not Egypt but Turkey. Muhammad V, 1909 to 1918AD (AH1327-36). I suspect 5 Kurush but I would need dimensions to be sure as I can't make out all the details in the (poor) Krause images!
hi again on the three pronged side on the lower part my coin has like a v above the line whereas the 5 kurush i have looked at has what looks like a 7 above the line
Right - I think your "V" is the Arabic for the number 7, meaning year 7 of the issue, which is 1915. As to why the Krause pictures are not great - they use photocopies of real coins and a lot depends on the condition of the coin they have used. In my copy of Krause the pictures of the 2 Kurush for Muhammad V are particularly bad. By the way - Arabic coins are not my area - I just happen to have come on the Egypt/Turkey confusion many times myself when sorting through job lots of foreign coins!
Yes - sorry I was not impugning your photos at all, they were great. It doesn't help when the reference books photos are poor though.
your coin looks like this 1 on Ebay. link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1327-1-190...h=item3fad81ea3f:g:vt8AAOSw3ZtaKcm7:rk:1:pf:0 1327//1 1909 TURKEY 5 KURUSH .830-SILVER KM#750 I do not know what grade your coin is ?
