Could someone kindly identify these three coins for me please ?
I think that they are Egyptian or Ottoman Empire.
The large copper or tin coin is 35mm in diameter and weighs 7 grams. It is a very thin coin. (Ottoman Empire ?)
The two smaller, identical, coins I thought were 1/10 Qirsh but they have a diameter of 15mm and weigh approx 1.5grams each.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Brian.

Just want to add that the large coin is not tin but billon, ie (very) low grade silver.

Thanks.
However .... the links suggest a 1/10 qirsh much heavier than what mine are. Could they possibly be this one as weight is much more accurate .. http:// (204) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed .com/en/coins/coin/5333-110_Qirsh-1876~1909_-_Abdul_Hamid_II_turkVizekingdom-Egypt
