Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 09/22/2009 6:11 pm The bottom one and the middle one are both 20 rial coins from Iran. The top one is from the Ottoman Empire (Turkey), Constantinople mint, from the late 1700's. 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

KM# 1247. #3: It's dated 1359 in the Iranian calendar, equating to AD 1980. KM# 1236. Both #2 and #3 are listed at $2.50 in VF condition in my 2006 edition Krause. 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
