Babar Valued Member Pakistan 207 Posts	Posted 08/26/2013 11:32 am The script in the first image says "Omdurman", which would imply it is a coin of Sudan. I can't make out any date or denomination (unless the 4 vertical lines mean "1111", which would make it a coin from 1700, which I'm not sure is right), but a similar coin (possibly the same) that might help you is: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces17838.html Report this Post to the Staff
rooneydog Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 739 Posts	Posted 08/26/2013 4:17 pm I agree with Babar but date is 1312 (1895) the denomination is probably (given size and weight) 20 Piastres. The bottom image needs to be rotated anticlockwise about 80 degrees and the denomination is slightly to the left above the 2nd star from the bottom - it does look like 20 (٢٠) Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16844 Posts	Posted 08/26/2013 6:39 pm Correct; it's a coin from Mahdist Sudan, imitating Ottoman-Egyptian coins in style but being cruder and of even more debased silver than Ottoman examples. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
