Hi everyone

 

This is the first time I have used this forum, so please bear with me!

 

If someone could possibly identify the country of origin, the coin itself and give a value it would be very gratefully appreciated.

 

Thank you for your time.

 

Nigel

They are Islamic dated coins, Egypt, Ottoman empire, Tunisa from first glance. If you learn the Arabic numbers you can add the date to your search using dimensions and value. There you can identify the coins yourself and find out a value - I can’t quite read the dates from your images but one is actually written in Latin numbers for you 1299…

1. If it is gold, you put decimal point in wrong place. Gold one is around 1 gram

year 1290

 

2. 10 qirsh. I can't recognize two last characters as digits.

 

3. cupro nickel is not silver. Year 1327

N#21756

 

4. year 1299

 N#8394

 

5. year 1277

probably N#29046

 

If you search for Arabic year in numista catalogue, you will find those coins and search results fit in 1-3 pages.

 Most identified in previous reply. Here are cropped and rotated pictures 

 

1 [0.1 gram / 13 mm] 

 

2 [0.4 gram / 14 mm]

 

3 [1.8 gram / 15 mm]

 

4 [1.4 gram / 14.6 mm]

 

5 [1.1 gram / 18 mm]

 

 Last three [3, 4, 5] identification agreed with above - only 1 and 2 unknown currently.

2 N#69701  [14.4 mm] 

 Yes denomination is 10  but it is Para not Qirsh and 

the ١٢ is followed by ٥٥ making it 1255 date.

1 -  Click on Catalog tab at the top 

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php 

 then on the right of the search bar click on the blue icon 

 

named ‘Show the virtual keyboard for special characters’ 

which will appear just below. 

 

2 - Click on the down arrow on the right 

 

and all the languages appear. 

 So today you would need Arabic to be selected. 

 

3 - Choosing that shows all the characters 

 

 which I show in red what the numbers look like. 

So that earlier ١٢٥٥ will be 1255 numbers.

 Lastly, an example - how I found coin 2 earlier. 

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?r=1255+10+&st=147-150-149&cat=y&im1=&im2=&ru=&ie=&ca=3&no=&v=&a=&dg=&i=&b=&m=&f=&t=12-16&t2=&w=&mt=&u=&g=&c=&wi=&sw= 

 On the lower part of the first picture is ١٠ which is 10 for the denomination. 

As you said it was 14mm then I chose a few mm either side such as 12-16mm 

and pressed the blue Search button. Yours was one of the seven results. 

 Even though I typed  1255  10  it still works with  ١٠  ١٢٥٥  as well.

1 N#56459  [13 mm] 

 Though that is the original gold coin, on which your item is based. 

Will see what other members think.

1. If it is gold, you put decimal point in wrong place. Gold one is around 1 gram

13 mm x 0.6 mm cylinder is 0.08 cm^3 by volume. gold would weight over 1 gram.

 

Link to coin is in above post

 

> 2. 10 para.

 

Yep :) I can barely read Arabic numbers. Rest is mystery.

Thank you to ZacUK, Tokul and King for their valued knowledge.
