WorldCoinTreasures New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 09/23/2008 2:23 pm The coin I would like help with is either a Tunisia or Turkish coin. I think that because I've found coins close to this one in the World Coins catalog 1801-1900, pages 1087-88. The obverse looks like KM#88 4 Kharub but the reverse doesn't match. The stats of the coin are: 2.3g, 21.2mm, brass looking color. I would like to know the correct KM # for this coin. Thanks for your help.

Jays-Dad Pillar of the Community United States 790 Posts	Posted 09/23/2008 2:56 pm I have a similar one I was trying for a long time to id. I kept getting close, but nothing quite matching. I finally did id it thanks to someone here on the forum. The bad news is, I think that is not a coin, it was part of a bracelet. I've attached pics of mine so you can see the similarity.

WorldCoinTreasures New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 09/23/2008 4:40 pm Jays-Dad, You might be right about both of our coins. I guess they are charms made to look like real coins Many Tunisia and Turkish coins are shown in the book with holes like ours. It would be interesting to know what the inscription says on the reverse side of the coins. Report this Post to the Staff

EgCollector Pillar of the Community Egypt 3470 Posts	Posted 10/09/2008 07:08 am Hi Jays-Dad, The writing doesn't seem arabic to me, I could hardly read the word "Sultan" and "Struck in". I think it differs from that of WorldCoinTreasures because of the way of writing. Hope this helps Report this Post to the Staff
