MasterKromm Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 07/27/2020 6:49 pm Hi guys, I recently bought a bunch of foreign coins for a decent price... I could identify almost all of them, save for two. I would really like to know what they are, any insight would be appreciated (is coin 1 a copy/counterfeit?)!

Gincoin43 Pillar of the Community United States 1543 Posts	Posted 07/27/2020 7:58 pm I've seen the first one recently but I can't quite remember, I'll think a bit and see. Could we have the weights and diameters? Coaster looks to have a good match for the second if the dimensions match. Report this Post to the Staff
Gincoin43 Pillar of the Community United States 1543 Posts	Posted 07/27/2020 8:10 pm It came to me, not sure on the size of your coin. Bohemond VII, County of Tripoli, A crusader state. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces43879.html https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces50905.html There is also that C shape on the cross side, not sure what that is, there may be variants listed elsewhere but numista only had those two simple listings.

Sap Moderator Australia 16873 Posts	Posted 07/28/2020 04:05 am I suspect the first one is indeed a replica/copy of the Crusader-era coin. I know WRL produced replicas of this coin for sale in their historic coin packets. I suspect the odd littel "C" mark is the mintmark of the replica-maker. The second one is indeed an Ottoman Turkish bronze coin, Constantinople mint, dated Accession 1255 Regnal Year 2 (AH 1256, or AD 1840). Which denomination I cannot say without an indicator of size. 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
MasterKromm Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 08/01/2020 9:28 pm Thanks everyone for pointing me in the right direction, Based off the weight (~0.75g) and size (17mm) , it is a 10 para coin KM 652. Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff
