We were going through some of our old things and came across this rather old Turkish coin, probably from a great-great grandparent. I'm interested in knowing if the coin experts here can nail down its exact identity and tell me if it's worth anything. I also measured its approximate diameter and weight, if that helps. Diameter: 22.3 mm Weight: 7.179 grams Report this Post to the Staff

Your coin looks very much like a 100 Kurus - Abdülhamid II (Constantinople): https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces37640.html Your top photo is the reverse. The date is 1906 (Islamic number 1293 on the reverse + regnal year 32 on the obverse). At the least, it is worth it's weight in gold: 7.18 g X 0.917 = 6.58 g actual gold or 0.212 troy ounce X $2,736.90/oz = $579. There may be a numismatic premium associated with it but I'm not an expert on these coins. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
