ok88beat New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 06/12/2021 3:34 pm I am having trouble finding this coin in my world coin book. I am pretty sure its Turkish and a gold 12.5 kurush, it weighs .9grams and is 15mm in diameter. Any help with the year or ID is appreciated, might even be a "jewelers coin" but not sure.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7970 Posts	Posted 06/12/2021 8:43 pm Hmmm .... But it does not look at all like the Krause 12.5 kurush coin: https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...duid-1536257 And does not show at all in acsearch as best I can tell. So maybe your initial suspicion is correct (although it REALLY looks authentic) Report this Post to the Staff

They might be able to help. This is the name... TUM DUNYA MADENI PARA KOLEKSIYONU Steve :) Report this Post to the Staff
