    #1 is a riyal from Yemen
    #2 looks like a 5 kori from the Indian state of Kutch
    #3-5 are all English 3 pence coins

    yup, nice.. thank you.

    what year is the Kutch? any idea?

    Check Krause but I think the Kutch pieces are from the 1940s - a one or two year type as I recall. I've always liked (and own a few) of the Kutch series since they look like they were made a lot earlier than the 20th century.

    it looks like that style could be anywhere from 1913 - 1936 image

    on the first coin it says

    1372-1953

    1372 being what 1953 is on the islamic calendar (beginning 622AD when Muhammad went from Mecca to Medina)

    You're right, my bad. Was doing it from memory which wasn't complete in this case. Looks like a 1925 date on the obverse (first 4 characters below the horizontal line) but it always takes me a while to figure these out so I'm not sure I'm reading it right without references.

    The Kutch looks like 1935 to me.
  • CoinCoinsCoinCoins Posts: 698 ✭✭✭
    here's a 1935 in a slab ebay 1935 ngc - VS1991

    under the moon, inside the circle, bottom right character is different.

    but then this coin - numisbids has one listed as a 1935 that looks like mine, but is listed as VS1992 image

    i can't find a 1925 to compare :/


    i guess it doesn't really matter, no key dates, but i just want to know image

    it appears to be 1925 to me, the third character only has two points at the top, it would need another swoosh making three points to be a 3, imo

    The "2" would be quite a bit shorter if it were 1925, also the VS date would be 1982 instead of 1992. So, definitely, 1992/1935.
