Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 09/27/2011 11:11 am Is there a question in here? As for the coins, I have no idea what they are as my sole effort is on Roman coins. I would say these coins look Islamic, but that is only a guess. If you are asking what type of metal , i.e., is it silver?, I dare not say without knowing the coins or being able to test the metal.

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 09/27/2011 12:34 pm Don't worry about your English. It beats most of us trying to Serb, that is until I get to drinking Slivovitz, then I become a linguistic specialist in all languages. On to your coins, I cannot answer your questions, but perhaps someone will know something about them. Good luck. JW Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16869 Posts	Posted 09/27/2011 8:46 pm JW is correct, they're Islamic, not ancient - the ones I can make details out on are Ottoman Turkish, with perhaps some other Islamic states. Closer pics of both sides of each coin, with sizes, would certainly help in narrowing down their identities. 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
mvojnovic Pillar of the Community Serbia (Srbija) 576 Posts	Posted 10/08/2011 2:12 pm These coins appear to Ottoman. I'm not expert in Ottoman coins but I have several of these in my collection. Smaller ones should be akches or aspres (I'm not sure of English transcription, (akča - Serb.,) on Greek "aspron" - white money. Bigger ones should be dirhems. Both, akches and dirhems where made of silver. These coins dont usually worth much especially holed and damaged ones. Nice start for Ottoman coin collection.
