Pubblicazioni di 5 • visto 137 volte
Hi folks , new member going through late mothers property. Have had lots of success identifying things through using the site and help in the banknotes forum also but i cannot find much about these final few coins.

Coins would have appeared to come from family members from second world war travels. whether this is date relevant to these or not i have no idea but with Palestine and Egyptian coins being identified amongst my lot it may indicate a regional marker.

Any/all help is very much appreciated .

coin one. i seem to be able to identify characters that are present on coins from Palestine but have little further insight.




Coin number two . i have no idea which way the coin is orientated.



Coin number three. the main zero/o character seemed similar to egyptian marking on coins from 1941/2 but i couldnt locate anything .

They look Ottoman.

The first one is from Egypt (dated 1273 - 1876):

leopiccionia is on the right track.
All three are from Egypt under the Ottoman Empire during the reign of Abdul Hamid II.

1. Dated 1293, regnal year 10, 2 Qirsh, 1884, KM#293
2. Dated 1293, regnal year 29, 1 Qirsh, 1903, KM#299
3. Dated 1327, regnal year illegible (should be 27-33, 1901-1907), 5/10 Qirsh, KM#291.

I used the free cell phone apps Coinoscope and Maktun to assist with the identification.
Incredible .
Thankyou both very much indeed . . .

As pointed out by @seeker, these coins are older than WWII and probably were not just "pocket change" but might have been bought at a flea market if they came from 1940s Egypt.
My dad's pouch of WWII coins got me interested in collecting world coins. He passed through Egypt, but all the Egyptian coins were "contemporary" (1920s-1940s), not Ottoman.

Or, maybe one of your family members was in that part of the world in the first World War?
