chrisof4 Valued Member United States 274 Posts	Posted 10/19/2019 12:51 am I acquired this coin at a garage sale a few years ago. The obverse has a high relief profile of a man in a turban with writing around the outside of the coin I could not possibly hope to decipher. The reverse says Istanbul Fetih Cemiyeti. It this a Turkish coin and does anyone have a rough idea of the value? I plan to keep it in collection, but would still like to have some idea of the value. Any help is appreciated.

The one's I see all have different numbers and I'm not sure why, but they seem to sell for 700ish. https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=l...194&lot=2227 Is it gold? Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 10/19/2019 08:41 am To confirm solid gold or gold plated, need to know thickness, diameter and weight. Medals often have a choice of diameters, metals, finishes and weights, for sale at a range of price levels. Report this Post to the Staff
chrisof4 Valued Member United States 274 Posts	Posted 10/19/2019 7:41 pm The weight is 16.2g. The diameter is 27mm. The thickness is approximately 1.5mm. Thank you for your help with this. Report this Post to the Staff
