Thank you for the
help on the coins the last few days.

All the above, was easy for the combined knowledge you guys posses. My
hope was at least one will be hard enough to warrant my requests for assistance but I think I will fail.
So I am finished attributing about 1000 coins from my maternal grandfather and father The
greek coins I found very hard, with a 4% stump rate.
Roman coins I got every one on my own. I
had a 0.4% stump on the
medieval coins. Yay internet. Some my father or grandfather
had attributed, most they
had not, many incorrectly, but I can't blame them it must have been super hard before the internet. The majority of the
collection were almost certainly from my grandfather who was a civil engineer all through Europe and
Africa in the 1910 and 1930s. Most of the coins were found on the job site but some were bought in
Vienna when he retired in the 30's.
So here is my final stumbling block--I wasn't going to ask about them, but I figured it has been so easy and you guys have been so generous I would push my luck this last time.
I know the rules are one at a time but these two look close to identical to me.
The first #23 is 11.30 grams 12.7
mm AG. I don't know which is
obverse or
reverse, but one
side I believe is the du'a "God is great,' and the other
side is "There is only one God."
The second #24 is 11.4 grams 19.9
mm AG. Again I don't know
obverse from
reverse, but one
side has the du'a "Everything is done by God." and the other is Farsi which I have been unable to translate.
These may not be
money from what I gather, but rather some
type of supplication medallions. Any information would likely
help me close these out.
Thanks again for the expertise. You guys have been very helpful to a neophyte like myself.
