Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 02/11/2014 1:02 pm Hard to tell if they are all the same, but top left and bottom right appear to be Turkey 10 Para KM# 744 dated AH1293/AD1899-1900 Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16859 Posts	Posted 02/11/2014 7:43 pm "1293" is the accession date, the year the Sultan became sultan. The actual year of issue is on the other side, in tiny numerals below the toughra. They're a little hard to read from that pic, but I think three of your coins are dated Year 27, the fourth (bottom right) is Year 28. According to the NGC database page, Yr 27 is slightly scarcer, though in the condition these coins are in I don't think it matters too much. Year 1293//27 (or in other words, year AH 1319) corresponds roughly to AD 1901. 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
