CalzoneManiac Pillar of the Community United States 2233 Posts	Posted 07/15/2024 9:29 pm I need help identifying this coin. I ruled out Iran/Persia, Afghanistan and Yemen. I think it may be a 19th century type. Weighs about 2 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

CalzoneManiac Pillar of the Community United States 2233 Posts	Posted 07/15/2024 10:08 pm I was thinking it was from Iran. The date appears to read 112_ Edited by CalzoneManiac 07/15/2024 10:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
collector.detector Pillar of the Community United States 505 Posts	Posted 07/16/2024 04:53 am @spence got the type correct. It looks like 1292 to me me but that wouldn't make sense. Can you get a closeup of the date (under the wreath, which is under the sun) Edit: by process of elimination, it 1297 (1880) compare here: https://www.ma-shops.co.uk/saenn/item.php?id=37608 Edited by collector.detector 07/16/2024 04:57 am Report this Post to the Staff
