tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7936 Posts	Posted 04/05/2021 12:33 pm What is the diameter of the coin, and what type of metal do you think it is made from? Looks like Egypt, something like this: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5849.html Edited by tdziemia 04/05/2021 12:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff

tokenscot Valued Member United Kingdom 82 Posts	Posted 04/05/2021 7:18 pm It is a 5 Guerche (spelling varies) of Egypt dated 1327, regnal year 6. 5,800,000 were made by Heaton of Birmingham, UK, in 0.833 silver. The start date of the regnal years for Sultan Mehmed V Re#351;âd would be: 1 - 27 April 1909 (7 Rabi Al-Akhar 1327) 2 - 17 April 1910 (7 Rabi Al-Akhar 1328) 3 - 07 April 1911 (7 Rabi Al-Akhar 1329) 4 - 26 March 1912 (7 Rabi Al-Akhar 1330) 5 - 15 March 1913 (7 Rabi Al-Akhar 1331) 6 - 04 March 1914 (7 Rabi Al-Akhar 1332) 7 - 21 February 1915 (7 Rabi Al-Akhar 1333) So year six would be 04 March 1914 to 20 February 1915.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 04/08/2021 03:22 am The colour is wrong too, this is what the coin should look like This is a year 4 (1913) but essentially the same coin. But I suspect this one has been whizzed clean. It is slightly larger than a shilling. Edited by Princetane 04/08/2021 03:23 am Report this Post to the Staff
