Help ID Arabic coin/medal

[Stacker2020]

Picked this up from a Sunday market junk stall for £5. Magnet tested it and appears to be silver. Does any one know the coin/medal or can point me in the general direction of country of origin?

Any help appreciated.

That's great. Thanks daca. Anyone can tell me the date of the coin. I'm guessing it's on there?

I've manage to locate de correct one, the one above was an earlier version with greater denomination.

That's amazing! Thank you so much.

It's a shame it's mounted. But I like it as a jewellery piece, so will get a chain for it

Buying PM is a slippery slop.

I've started my journey in to PM when trying to identify a similar coin  https://www.ma-shops.com/kuenker/item.php?id=14969

and a medal, piece of Hungary  history

But what a great slope to be on

Did you find out the information on the Hungarian Medal? If not I'd be happy to pop into one of the Budapest LCS and get some info for you.

Thanks for that. Do you know what the 1293/32 are in relation to?

Yes I did, It is coronation medal from 1867 with the formation of the dualism system

I did also pick up this copper coin. My first, just because I liked it. It was only a few pounds. I'm not sure if it's original or a restrike, but it's got a nice size and feel to it. Guess you're right, I might have to be careful!

AH: anno hegirae refers to the starting point of the Islamic Calendar AD622 and AH1293 equates to ADD 1876.

The second number refers to the 32nd year of regency of Sultan Abdul Hamid but since the Islamic Moon Calendar does not exactly match the Christian Solar Calendar, the result is 1906 (not 1876+31=1907).

Thank you very much for that information. Very helpful
