alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 06/25/2014 12:50 pm This pic is cropped from a seller's larger group. From comparison with a known larger coin next to it, I approximate it at 38mm. Trouble is my Krause doesn't give sizes. Any suggestions please. Report this Post to the Staff

BobAlmighty125 Valued Member United States 199 Posts	Posted 06/25/2014 1:04 pm I'd call it Turkey 10 Para KM#383, but I can't read Arabic, so this is just my best guess. I'm pretty confident that it is Hamid I, though. Edited by BobAlmighty125 06/25/2014 1:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 06/25/2014 2:32 pm Thank you gentlemen. The 10 para perhaps, can anyone see a regnal year? Report this Post to the Staff
BobAlmighty125 Valued Member United States 199 Posts	Posted 06/25/2014 2:44 pm My understanding is that the regnal year is in the red square, yours reading '2' Report this Post to the Staff
BobAlmighty125 Valued Member United States 199 Posts	Posted 06/25/2014 2:49 pm As I keep looking, this could also very well be a piastre KM#396. I would suggest massing the coin once it arrives. Report this Post to the Staff
