Is there a way if i can find out which coin is mine? I weighed, it is 6gram.  However, it wouldn't show if it is smth like 5.92 anyway. I also cant figure out if it is 23.7mm or 23.9mm etc. It looks smaller than even 23.7. It is in a bad shape, it is so hard to read as well.

When I photo search, it shows el-Ghazi, but I still can't tell which el-Ghazi it is.


The first one is magnetic so that's easy to prove or disprove.  The next two have dates 1327 or 1336.

 

Can you read the date on yours?  I'm guessing the last digit is a 6 (٦) and not an 8 (٨) so that would make it N#6407 . The Regnal Year would help but it's not readable on yours.

I just realised it is definitely not el-Ghazi. The 4 symbol is definitely different.

And where you pointed to looks like 6, not 7. Well, at least it looks like that to “me” :D

Yeah, I agree. I think it's N#6407

It's so close to 24.0 mm, especially your coin is on top certainly not below 0, in my opinion even slightly above 0 (see upper green arrow).

Of course to be sure you need a caliper to do the measurement.

 

The date on your coin is definitely 1336 which makes it indeed N#6407 without any doubt.
