nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 12/18/2013 11:11 pm It's from Libya. Egypt also had some kings who appear in fezzes, but the tassel makes it Libya. Report this Post to the Staff
Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 12/18/2013 11:16 pm nalaberong- Ah, I had wondered it if could have actually been north African as opposed to West Asian. Thanks! Any guesses as to the date? Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 12/18/2013 11:20 pm believe the date is 1952 and I think the coin is either a Millieme KM#1 or a Piastre KM#4 Report this Post to the Staff

amih New Member Egypt 3 Posts	Posted 12/26/2013 2:33 pm This is KM#1, a 1952 1 MilliÃ¨me coin from Libya. The head on the obverse is Idris I and the Arabic words read "Idris the First" to the left and "King of Libya" to the right. On the reverse, the Arabic words in the centre are "1 MilliÃ¨me 1952" and on both the sides, it simply says "MilliÃ¨me". You can see the exact coin here: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces10227.html Report this Post to the Staff
