aandys.aantiquities Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) Hello everyone, I am looking for any information people have on the three gold coins in the images. We have done a lot of research but seem to have come to a dead end, so far (we think) we know that the currency of 2 of the coins is 10 kursh/kurush/qursh, the coins are made from gold, the coins are around 15/16 mm and the year is believed to be 1293/7 on one of the coins However all of this information could be incorrect! If anyone has any information or knows anything about these coins please let me know! Thank you, Sam Edited October 3, 2016 by aandys.aantiquities no image Quote
Sleepy Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 The 1293 date is an AH date (After Hegira) this would convert into a western date of about 1876, a direct conversion is very difficult. I'm sorry that is about all I can help you with, however Rotographic (see advert at the top) publish a book on Arabic Coins which might help, I have some of there other titles and I find them very useful.

mrbadexample Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 Think the regnal year on the top one is 21. My punt would be at Ottoman Empire 100 kurush, KM#730. The weight should help. Quote
mrbadexample Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 The other two appear to me to be either ¼, ½ or 1 Memduhiye Altin, depending on weight. The one on the left looks to be regnal year 2, the one on the right, 1. Quote

I think at auctions the hammer prices are a little bit different Quote

All the best, Sam Quote
