Hello All,

Can anyone help ID this coin please?

Coin scan is attached. Only part of the script remains, the rest is worn. Diameter about 20mm.

Hi

This is a para of Abdul Hamid I (1187-1203 H/ 1774-1789 AD) from Tripoli (now in Libya). It was struck in 1188 H (1774-5 AD) and is listed as KM 53 in the 18th century Krause catalogue.

Best wishes

Alan

Hi Alan,

Thanks for the info.

At last I know what this coin is and I can also place it in its proper historical context.

Regards
