.. your ID skills are just not what they should be. I've just received a small batch of world mix. A casual glance and among the usual East Germany, Russia, Bulgaria etc. you notice THIS  THIS is made of aluminum and about the size of the Singaporean cent.  Could you help?  Edited by Sap

For me it looks similar to Maldives coat of arms, but it's only a suggestion |

OK I checked and it does look.. almost like it. Though the crescent is between the flags, not under them.. Both wiki and all coins I have pictured in my book have the crescent between the flags. I exclude nothing since the book is old and therefore, can't be trusted completely  Edited by DL20K

Finally dug it up from the bag.
On the other side there's an Arabic numeral for "1" and the date 1964; 1383 (I think).

Last ones from this batch - 3 coins and one token that reads "AGE COIN"  and is the same on both sides. The unique yellow Lincoln is shown for size comparison  |

the Age 16 is a token used once age has been verified for things like the movie theater etc.

Just to get the description a little clearer: the Israeli coins are: left: 1 agorah, middle: 1 new sheqel and right: 5 agorot. I have the impression the 5 agorot coin could be a special coin, issued for the 25th anniversary of independance in 1973. This coin was only issued in sets with a mintage of 98,107

Not at all, EgCollector, but I am familiar with modern world coins and I can recognize them quite easily. I can only read the numbers.
If I could read Arabic, I should have less problems in identifying 18th and 19th century coins from Arabic and Arabic using Indian countries.

Finally, on getting a precise date for the Israeli coins. Check out my tutorial on dating coins using the Hebrew calendar. But if that's all just leaving you then never fear; your Krause catalogue (even the older ones) should have a quick reference table for converting Jewish Era to AD dates right at the beginning of the chapter on Israel.

I read them, thanks! Even though I had to use this set of numerals: http://www.americanvision.org/images/numbers.gifbecause I can't see a thing at the wikipedia site (they couldn't have made them any smaller!) 734 5761 733 The remaining question is: were the second type coins made in 5761? |

The alloy was changed from non-magnetic cupronickel to magnetic clad steel in 5754/1994, creating the KM# 160a subtype. Yours, from 5761/2001, should be clad steel KM# 160a.
