Hi folks - here's one in my collection that I can't ID. No English words, so nothing I can type into Google :) what have I got?
Mystery-Arabic-?-Gold-Coin
Mystery-Arabic-?-Gold-Coin

Edit: I see a lot of times on this site pics are rotated. This one I bent over backwards trying to make sure was right side up, and still it shows them sideways. Sorry but I did my best!

@timnh, with regard to the rotation of the pics, it might be that you are holding your phone vertically (i.e. with one hand) when you are taking the pics. Try holding it horizontally--in both hands as that has worked for some others.

Thank you both! That is indeed the coin (interesting to see the year on the Islamic scale), and will try horizontal pics from now on. Cheers!

1327 (1948) Mintage 36,000

There is nothing Islamic (or anything religious) about this coin. Hence the corrected date, for example.

Lovely coin BTW. Very nice!
