Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 01/12/2018 7:21 pm The two first ones both look like 1 fals pieces from Tunisia. I think the date on the first one looks like 1186, which would be around 1773 in the Gregorian calendar; the second one's date is 1178, which would be around 1765 in the Gregorian calendar. Links! https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces112982.html https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces42260.html Do you happen to know the weight and/or diameter of the last coin? I cannot see a date on that one, so either of those things may help with identifying it. Report this Post to the Staff
bobo13 Valued Member Bulgaria 474 Posts	Posted 01/12/2018 8:25 pm Joseph, thank you very much!! The last coin weight is 11.6 grams and it's thick like a many Indian states coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 01/12/2018 10:18 pm No problem! At 11.6 grams, the closest match I can find is of a 1 falus piece from the Indian state of Awadh, made from either 1851 or 1852. If you rotate the first picture ninety degrees counter-clockwise, you can see a mermaid-like figure. That matches up with the example found here. The other side is more off-struck, but the '3' symbol on that side matches up on both your example and the one in the link. I am not sure where the date is located though...
