Unknown Coin dug recently.

Does anyone have any clues as to what it is and where it came from?

Is that Arabic, the language of Islam???

Hi everybody,
I have finally worked out where it came from.

If you look at this URL, and compare the 100 Kurush (first picture) and the design in the centre, it matches the lower coin on my post.

The designs are the same, so it has to be Turkish.

Very Cool... I would love to know the story of it's long journy from Turkey to Australia [&:]! Is the one you have GOLD [8D]?

World War I, perhaps?

Hi everyone,
No, it is not gold, but most likely would be from WW1. It was probably picked up by a digger in the first world war, and much later, tossed out.
