TimNH Valued Member United States 417 Posts	Posted 11/03/2019 01:15 am 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? 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!

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 11/03/2019 05:46 am @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.

TimNH Valued Member United States 417 Posts	Posted 11/03/2019 10:52 am 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! Edited by TimNH 11/03/2019 10:59 am Report this Post to the Staff
