I have a coin that looks Arabic and has a zombie-looking guy on the front and a mosque on the back. I found a picture of the coin in an auction on ebay - it is the coin at the bottom left of this photo: Image: 931d_1.jpg 33.58 KB If anyone can help me identify this coin, I would really appreciate it. I'm sure it is not worth anything, but I would like to know what country it is from. Thank you. Edited by Sap 05/30/2009 02:17 am Report this Post to the Staff

The ones with Liras are the old ones, which are now worth 1/1,000,000 new Lira. I see that your 5 Kurus is new, so that would be a currently circulating coin. ... and other people can id the others. I just don't recognize them that quickly... except the Bahrain one, and the one on the bottom left which could be Jordan... Report this Post to the Staff

The portrait is of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, statesman and founding father of the country - Pakistan's equivalent of Thomas Jefferson. As for value, it's a currently circulating coin. One Pakistan rupee is worth slightly more than 1 US cent, so there's not much face value; it's a typical "3 for $1" coin you'd find in a coin dealer's scratchtray. 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
