I also believe it to be from Saudi Arabia... These next two I'm stumped...Couldn't find on Numista...

Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 635 Posts	Posted 02/14/2018 1:29 pm While I don't know middle eastern coins by sight, I can help a little bit with the numbers. Number 2 has a denomination of 10 and a date of AH 1321 (AD 1903). Number 3 has a date of AH 1363 (AD 1944). Report this Post to the Staff
deisenb75 New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 02/14/2018 2:36 pm Zooming in I'd say that the second one looks more like 1371 rather than 1321. Take a look on numista and see if anything with that date matches your coin Report this Post to the Staff
chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 02/14/2018 2:46 pm Thank you gentlemen. Yep. 1371 it was. First listing on Numista.

Sap Moderator Australia 16845 Posts	Posted 02/14/2018 10:04 pm Because both of the two bottom coins are from Iran, the dates on them are not regular AH dates, but Iranian Islamic Calendar (Solar Hegira or SH) dates. SH 1363 is AD 1984, and SH 1371 is AD 1992. 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.
