My oldest/best Canadian find & Unusual Arabic " Half "

[santafeboy]

I bought a $500 box of dimes today and found a 1929 Canada 10 cents in VF condition also 1950 S and 1957 D Roosevelts in same box Also a WF had $10 in halves as the teller is handing them to me Im getting excited as I see what looks like a silver edge it is a strange coin with all Arabic lettering on both sides and an image of what appears to be a small palace or a mosque slightly smaller than a half not silver but a really cool find

It's an Iranian 100 rial coin. It's dated 1377 AH, so I'm not sure what that translates to in AD years.

 

[Solid Rolls]

I believe it translates into 1998 in AD years, but I could be wrong.

You are correct. The coin is just worth exchange value ($0.00802).

What is that "rust" on the Canadian dime?

Nice catch on that silver dime. My earliest is 1938 silver dime. Feel a bit ashamed living in Canada and getting no old coins lately, but I would expect no one here to find a 1920 or 1921 Canadian penny in the US

And you found these coins in Santa Fe?

I love a coin with a king and a crown.

Found in San Jose California Also the rust Im guessing it was in a toolbox or grampas screw and nail jar? before his rocket scientist heirs cashed it in?
