Lobby Pillar of the Community United States 548 Posts	Posted 11/20/2011 5:30 pm My father used to work in Saudi Arabia. He gave me this gold coin many years ago. Any idea what it is? It weighs 8.0 grams, and its diameter is 2.2 cm. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 11/20/2011 7:44 pm It's a jeweller's copy of a Saudi Arabian "guinea" from the 1950s, struck to be equivalent to a British gold sovereign. Original coins look like this. You can tell this one is a jeweller's copy because of the small jeweller's marks above the right-hand-side palm tree on the left picture: "M22M" with the numeral "2" in Arabic. "22" means 22k gold, the same fineness as the genuine coin. Here's another replica with a similar mark above the left-hand-side palm tree. It will still be worth gold content, but it is not an official government-issued coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Lobby Pillar of the Community United States 548 Posts	Posted 12/13/2011 11:25 am Wow. I just learned a bunch about that coin. I've always liked quarter oz gold coins. Something about that size that's appealing. Of course, I like the half oz, too. Oh, and the 1 oz. Heck, a 1 kilo bar would be cool. Report this Post to the Staff
