twohawks Pillar of the Community United States 1551 Posts	Posted 03/06/2022 1:34 pm This coin looks to be 100% struck and it scales exactly 7.9 Grams and tests at 22 K. I know what Coin O Scope calls it. It comes up as a 1 Gunayh - ABd al-Aziz Gold Pattern Issuer Saudi Arabia King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Year 1370 but 1951 under modern calendars. The proof pattern states "without Washed" I don't read Arabic so I was hoping someone would know the difference between a normal one and the pattern ...Options Edited by twohawks 03/06/2022 3:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff

twohawks Pillar of the Community United States 1551 Posts	Posted 03/06/2022 3:15 pm Well from what I can find the last coin sold and it's said to be the only known one of 3 most likely struck sold for 170K or something like that. Are really good copies around or could this piece be 1 of the lost 2 other pattern coins struck? Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 03/06/2022 5:22 pm "Gunayn" might be the Arabic transliteration, but "guinea" is the usual translation of the name for this coin - it's struck to the same weight and fineness as the British sovereign. The regular, non-pattern coin of 1370 has a mintage of 2 million and is considered a bullion coin. NGC database page. Yours is one of those regular coins. The pattern you refer to, as being only three known, has a distinctly different script on the reverse (which is your top pic, though your pic is upside-down). Compare your coin with this example of the proof pattern from Heritage archives. 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
