alicie New Member United Kingdom 1 Posts	Posted 02/05/2014 4:19 pm Hi, I have found these coins there's 5 in total but 3 are the same but I can't tell where they are from. I was thinking possibly Tibet but I'm not too sure. I would quite like the country, what coin it is and the year if possible. Coin 1: It's about an inch and a quarter wide. Coin 2: It's a tiny wee bit smaller than coin 1. Coin 3: Just under an inch wide. Thanks. Staff edit: Identified, moved to the World Coin Section Report this Post to the Staff

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2135 Posts	Posted 02/05/2014 6:18 pm Coin 1 is a 10 piastres of Egypt. The first giveaway is the Arabic style numerals meaning on the reverse on the left 1937 and on the right 1356. The obverse shows the uniformed bust of king Farouk. Report this Post to the Staff
Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2135 Posts	Posted 02/05/2014 6:28 pm Coin 2 is Tibetan. I think the date is year 7 of the 16th cycle, so 1933 AD. I'm not sure about the type, but my guess is a 3 Srang coin. Report this Post to the Staff
NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18000 Posts	Posted 02/05/2014 6:54 pm Coin 3 is from Bhutan - a half rupee. Undated but struck in silver in 1928 and restruck later to the same design in cupro-nickel. The Bhutanese currency unit was and still is tied to the Indian rupee, but is now called a Ngultrum rather than a rupee.
