Hi folks,
I thought i'd post you a quick question to try and help me identify this coin. I originally found it 20 or so years ago in my parents back garden bu it got put in the box with the rest of them we found (not the same I hasten to add).

I think its from Asia but I couldn't confirm this.

It would be good to know:
a) what country its from
b) what type
c) what it says
d) what its made from

Hello and welcome. I stand corrected, it looks much like the coin from Egypt but eg_collector is correct it is from Turkey. Guess it's time for new glasses. Made from copper-nickel. From what I can make out from the date it is AH 1327 which is 1910. Id grade it VG/F value @$2.00

Thanks guys, the information is great news.

We've been wondering from where it was from for many years, and its older than I thought!

I'm pleased to see an identical match from the picture from eg collecctor.

Thanks.
