Ottoman - Egypt 1203AH - ID needed
« on: March 26, 2017, 07:09:55 am »
Hi,
This 1203AH coin (Egypt) is 14mm in diameter, very thin and light in weight.
I have no idea what is the metal type and will also be very happy to know if there is something I can do to clean the dirty side (or is it Corrosion?).
Many thanks,
Khafer

I just checked, it is 0.7gr and after some cleaning I can see that it was "hammered" from one side only...
