I inherited quite an extensive coin collection of foreign and domestic. I would like if possible to please get some help on identifying these I believe to be egypt. I have tried to look at other forums, however I don't seem to quite find the ones I have, some are close. Any help would be greatly appreciated, how to tell what they are, markings etc.






Thank you so much for your help
Near top right is Numisdoc and this is in there ...

which shows what each number is equivalent to. Yes, they look Egyptian. :)

Oh my gosh, thank you so much!!!!!, I will look, I have learned so very much about coins, and so much to learn...

Thank you again for your help
So your first coin has ١ in the middle so is 1 denomination.
Others are ١٩٥٧ and ١٣٧٦ which are 1957 and 1376 years.

and your coin is in the results.

Coin 6 is the same as coin 7 just different years.
All the pictures look the same colour yet coins 2 and 5 are more silvery.
Assuming those are the correct links.

​I don't see the problem? ZacUK gave you the islamic calendar, translated the numbers and gave the link. The 0 in 190 is an arabic 5, the diamond an arabic 0, so the Christian date is 1950. After that Christian date follows the Hejira date: the backwards 7 is the arabic 3, what looks like a 7 is an arabic 6, so: 1369. So ZacUK's link (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces9317.html) is correct. Or do I misinterpret your last post?
Yes I think you did mis-interpret, all I was saying because of his help I was able to find all except for one coin, on the database, He was very helpful, as all this is new to me, especially dealing and learning foreign coins, I guess I don't understand what the problem was, and why you seem to be upset because I mentioned that. I am glad you are so experienced, however I am not, I did not mean anything by that statement so I apologize if you felt otherwise. I was very excited to learn what I did

Thank you
What through me off was the diamond shape, as looking at the other coins I thought it was different, this was my first attempt, I know I will get better the more familiar I get with the different writings and languages,...Thank you all for your help, I found them all. Hope y'all have a Happy Thanksgiving.
