coinjem Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 02/20/2019 06:40 am I found this in a roll a quarters I got from a bank: Can anyone identify it's year, denomination, and approximate value? Which side is the obverse? Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 02/20/2019 07:33 am Looks to be from Oman https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces10217.html Obverse is the crossed swords I believe. I see the date but don't have my cheat sheet to read it handy.

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 02/20/2019 07:48 am This is from Oman, not Saudi Arabia. The lower photo is upside down. It's a 50 baisa dated 1428. 1428AH corresponds to 2007/2008, Report this Post to the Staff
Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 02/20/2019 07:49 am Generally, the side that shows the ruler, head of state, national identity is the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 02/20/2019 07:59 am AH 1428 which I think would be 2007 or 2008. Here is an updated catalog reference: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces13527.html You can find the value of your coin by doing a sold items search on ebay using the terms Oman 50 Baisa 2008 or Oman 50 Baisa 1428.

coinjem Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 02/20/2019 08:17 am Thanks everyone! I wasn't sure if it was from Saudi, that's why I put a question mark in the topic title. I also found this reference to the coin: https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...duid-1576019 And since I can't read any of the ME languages, I didn't know which side was up or down! :) Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 02/20/2019 10:51 am Apparently a common coin, though earlier types of this denomination are worth more: https://www.ebay.com/itm/OMAN-50-BA...AOSw689Zjz0R Report this Post to the Staff
Muks New Member United Arab Emirates 11 Posts	Posted 02/24/2019 04:43 am Hi. This is a coin from the Sultanate of Oman. It is dated 1428 which is the Islamic calendar. That would be the year 2007 AD. It is a 50 baisa denomination coin which is approximately USD 1.40. Report this Post to the Staff
