I was looking through my world coins and assigning each one a country when I came about these 10. Could not figure out the countries of these. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.  Edited by Sap

If needed, I can get individual scans of them with more detail. Just let me know what number coin and I will get it up ASAP.

I can identify a few, but flipping the photo right-side up would help a lot!

#7 isn't Morocco; Morocco uses "Western" numerals, and the numbers I can make out on that coin all look "Arabic". I believe it's a 1 pound from Syria.

9 out of 10 isn't bad, Sap is correct #7 is a 1 Pound coin from Syria looks like KM#98.

It's a Krause and Mishler cataloging number. If you pick up a Krause World Coin Price guide you will see a KM# series for each coin series of a given country.

Thanks, so basically its just an ID number for the coin. Also, do you happen to know if the coin that I posted above is indeed one from Syria or not?

As Sap stated earlier it is definitely from Syria and is 1 pound. They made that particular coin in 1968 & 1971
