pordy New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 09/07/2007 4:31 pm I've prided myself in being able to track down dozens of world coins but this one has me stuck. Any ideas? I should add, it is about 30mm across. Thanks kindly, Patrick Edited by pordy 09/07/2007 4:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16872 Posts	Posted 09/07/2007 8:31 pm It's Turkish, from the earliest series of the post-Ottoman republic, before they started using the Western alphabet. 25 kurus, 1928, KM 837. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Topher Pillar of the Community Canada 965 Posts	Posted 09/07/2007 9:41 pm I was going to guess Turkish, based on the star and crescent, but the lack of a western alphabet threw me off. I should have stuck with it! Report this Post to the Staff
pordy New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 09/08/2007 11:34 am Much thanks! The condition and $2 price at the local coin ship had me convinced it wasn't that old (despite the 1928 date) so I didn't even consider Turkey. Looking at my Turkey coins, 12/12 have the same crescent & star- even their flag has it... I should have known! Report this Post to the Staff
