[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3192947, member: 19165"]Can you show us the other side of the first one? You seem to have posted one side twice. And yes, these are from Iran - the lion holding a sword with the sun behind is the classic motif of Iran. The second one is a 5 Rials coin (KM1175a, if you have a copy of Krause). It is obviously heavily corroded and damaged, but the "upside down heart" is their symbol for 5. The date is below the wreath on that side, and reads "1339". That is the equivalent of 1960 AD. In that condition, it isn't worth more than 5 or 10 cents - but the history of it and association with your family is worth more.[/QUOTE]
