I think it's a Turkish coin. Where are you digging those coins--in a gravel pit?? :)

Just got of the phone with junkhunter, he got those on a beat-up hard compact gravel-rocky trolley road that was in use from around 1900 to 1930. I knew there was more up there, I'm glad he found some. Nice going Nathan...............Rich

Very nice silver haul!!!!!! I remember way back my dad and i hunting this old roadside bar with a gravel parking lot, and finding almost 50 silver dimes that looked like yours.

I think it's a Turkish coin.

I don't. Pretty sure that's Arabic, not Urdu. Can you post a better pic of just that one coin?

It's an Algerian coin with Arabic denomination (I think that is a '2' denomination-- looks like a '7'). Most likely 2 centimes 196X; maybe 1961.
Don..
Edit: Here you go: Algeria & Algerian Coins

Lol, posted mine before I saw that... Mack, you're right, that is a "2" in Arabic, pretty sure the writing beneath the number is "ithnain", which also means "2".
