We've got a couple of old coins from my wife's grandmother. Can someone tell me what is this?
Thanks in advance.



Unfortunately I don't have photos right now with the others, but I will add more later when I am at home.

​Probably.

[sometimes, Faux] Arabic lettering + holed = 90% chance of being a belly dancer's costume adornment.

Don't so sure, it could be a genuine coin.
Look at this one, holed, too !

We need the diameter and the weight of the coin, please.

And a picture of the other side.

I agree this asimov, it could be guenuine : mint and year are readable and well realised on this one.

It's usually not the case with the belly token of this type ( https://fr.numista.com/catalogue/pieces25170.html / https://fr.numista.com/catalogue/pieces59213.html )

So... let's see if weight and diameter match :)

I just take a look a my 19th century World Coins catalog.

The dates of minting for this coinage ends at regnal year 26, and as I can see, the regnal year of this coin is 28...

That's strange, the coin looks genuine for me (I have got several like this one in hands), but the year don't fit...

Let's wait for the weight and diameter.

​Seems like I lost the coin in the photo I posted first :( Hope will find it if it is valuable.
Here are some photos of the other coins that I have.
I cannot weigh them right now, but they (the 2 identical coins) seem to be 28 mm in diameter.
The other 2 (smaller) 20 mm.

Thanks.
