fuadbahrani New Member Kuwait 7 Posts	Posted 07/11/2015 7:16 pm It is a (5000 Dinars silver) year (1327). It looks like silver it weighs about 22 grams. The diameter 35 mm exactly as in the world coin book. I realized that the edge is flat not with lines like the other 5000 dinars coins in previous years.. Also the wight in the world coin book is 23 grams while this one is 22 grams What do you think about it ? I appreciate your help Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 07/11/2015 9:30 pm the reeding on the edge might have been worn away or removed somehow to account for the missing weight. http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces29127.html Report this Post to the Staff
wonghinghi Pillar of the Community Hong Kong 1270 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 03:23 am This coin does look like a cast copy. Does it ring like silver? The year of your coin is AH1337. The portrait and legend of the observe is different from the catalog if it is KM#1058. Report this Post to the Staff
coinworldtv Pillar of the Community Austria 566 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 06:08 am A really poor forgery (definitely not made of silver). Thanks for sharing. Report this Post to the Staff

LowLife Valued Member United States 368 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 10:31 am The lack of detail in the head/face is a good thing.....apparently that is a known weak strike area on original examples: http://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/...-duid-145864 Report this Post to the Staff
fuadbahrani New Member Kuwait 7 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 11:47 am Yes, but what make me suspicions is the weight and the flat edge. Why it is less in weight ? Is the original coin has the same edge ? Report this Post to the Staff
fuadbahrani New Member Kuwait 7 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 3:07 pm This the same coin from the world coins book Report this Post to the Staff
swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 4:35 pm The coin is definitely a numismatic forgery looks like a simple pressure cast copy made from a plastic mold. Report this Post to the Staff
