What is it? A Krona?

[wabnoles]

I would look into Turkey... the first image looks very similar to the loop design on the obverse. The Arabic year looks like either 1255 or 1355.

I have 1255 (1839AD) for the year

And it's Ottomon

Ottoman, AH1255 reignal date. Perhaps a 5 para (if about nickel size)

it;s bigger about the size of a Hlaf Dollar

[ccg]

Probably a 10 if slightly smaller, else a 20.

Probably a 10 if slightly smaller, else a 20.

same size as a Half Dollar, about 2-3mm bigger

[ccg]

Probably a 20 para then. Stuck between reignal years 16 and 21, so right around mid-century.

that's what it is Ottoman Empire (Eygpt) 20 para AH1255

[wabnoles]

I thought that the Egpyt 20 paras from that era were silver and this coin looks copper to me

Looks like research time

Like the British 1d of the late 1700s and into the 1800s, you had the choice of a large copper, or a very small piece of silver.

 

Ditto for Russian 5 kopeck.

Hello Zalta... I assume you are familiar with Arabic or are from a Muslim country (judging by the Arabic writing below your message)? We get some very hard to decipher Arabic coinage from time to time so we could really use you on this board. Welcome.

I have a few to post later, for your assistance Zalta. Thanx in advance
