thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 11/25/2011 10:12 pm Top one is Saudi Arabia 4 Ghirsh Arabic date AH1376 = AD1956. Copper-nickel I'm afraid. Worth 50c to 1$. The second one. Have you posted the same side twice? Report this Post to the Staff
thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 11/25/2011 10:17 pm I think I've got the second one now. Also Saudi Arabian 1 Riyal date AH1370 = AD1950. This time it is silver (actual silver weight 0.3420 oz.) but the condition would only make it bullion value. But with careful cleaning might make 5 or 6$.

Somebody tried to make an extra buck by sneaking them into a roll to make the roll the right width. Those coins were better to find in the roll than common Kennedy halves in my opinion.
