NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17905 Posts	Posted 04/22/2024 11:11 am Dear CCF members, please could someone identify this small bronze coin for me? Diameter is roughly 20.75mm. I bought it in a lot where it was in a 2x2 marked "Egypt 5 para AH1293" but I'm sure that is wrong. I cannot find it in Krause under Egypt or Turkey so I suspect it may be from Mughal India. It's machine-made so I imagine it's 20th-century. Many Thanks! My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95204 Posts	Posted 04/22/2024 5:07 pm Thanks Jan to May - I was waiting until I got home work to finish this one. Great work on the date - I guess it was the second one I had found - didn't get a chance much to look at it at work.. But Numis you had the reverse image (your first image) rotated Clockwise by 90 degrees - This is the correct orientation: Here are the characters you nee to read it: Collecting since 1972.

It's nontrivial to find - Numista's pics were really helpful! It's the N-shaped squiggle at about 10h just outside the inner circle. [EDIT: 7h on Dearborn's rotated pic.] Edited by january1may 04/22/2024 5:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17905 Posts	Posted 04/22/2024 6:22 pm Thanks everyone. I can see the figure 4 now but when you look at the coin it's very hard to isolate it from everything around it!

Even aside from the incredibly busy design, it's doing a good job of blending into the environment - I had trouble noticing it even when I already knew where I should look, because it just looked like the continuation of the squiggle below it Report this Post to the Staff
