An assortment of coins I have had for years.

Hi,

I have a small bag of coins that my dad gave me when I was young and wondered if any of them were rare? Or maybe someone could share a little info on the non English ones?
Pretty chuffed with myself for not losing them after 20 years thb :P



Thanks
Lee

1821 - Ceylon - Rix Dollar the ceylon rix dollar is maybe 200$ Ceylon being called "Sri Lanka" now (island south of India)

the Arabic coin is upside down and the numbers on it seem to say "5692" which doesn't make a lot of sense to me. can you show us the other side?

Wow thank you Unclemac. I thought it was pretty old but never realized it was silver!!!
I don't know which way is which. The hole has to be at the bottom then i take it?

i think so yes...perhaps it is the other side that was being shown as worn?

To me it looks like the other side is not aligned the same as the front. The hole seems to be off center on one side but perfectly central on the other. strange

Was wondering why there was also a readers digest token worth £13.47p :P

Amazing. I did think that maybe the hole had been made to form a medallion for a necklace. You are a true fountain of knowledge!
