Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 03/18/2008 04:51 am G'day, A. & E. I can't help. B. commemorative medallion of 1937. C. QV & KG5. I only see two Brtannias - there from the U.K.; not enough detail for me to make out where the others come from. Some look Canadian. D. looks like a religious medallion.

bart Pillar of the Community Belgium 651 Posts	Posted 03/18/2008 08:37 am a) Indeed, these coins are Ottoman, both from Turkey and Egypt. But it takes better pictures to get a better identification. b) not a Napoleon III, but a medal commemorating the coronation of king George VI and queen Elizabeth in 1937. c) Indeed some British coins, but also some coins of Cyprus (1 piastre coins) d) seems to be a modern copy of a Bohemian coin, in the name of king Louis I (LUDOVICUS PRIMUS DEI GRATIA REX BOEHmia = Louis I, by the grace of God king of Bohemia) Bart Report this Post to the Staff
Victor Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 03/18/2008 10:30 am Image E is two Byzantine coins. The reverses are not oriented correctly, as it is an M on the back of each. I can't make out the obverse legend, but as a guess, Justinian. Below is the link to the Byzantine rulers page on Wildwinds. If you can make out your obverse legend you might be able to I.D. them more accurately. http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/byz/i.html Report this Post to the Staff
