I've got 2x copper coins here that I suspect are Turkish but I ain't too sure anyone shed some light ? Lol

2nd one is 10 para Abdul Mejid, I think. It would help to have the other sides please.
They should both be there ? Each pic is the front of one and back of another
Apologies...they don't both appear on my phone!
iPhone ? They don't on mine either haha !
Blackberry!

I'm still thinking the second one is as I said. But the first has me stumped...(which isn't that hard to do) but I'm sure I can see the number 5 in the middle of the coin?

Anyway, do you have a scanner? Can you give weights and diameters?

Many thanks...
Ah I dunno.. These not very smart phones ! Lol, thanks for your input though as for the number I think it may be a 0 like the Arabic coins lol oh and I don't actually have a scanner, I just use my phone for everything these days my computer hasn't even been on since they developed iCloud ! Lol

Any chance on this information, it could really help me solve some queries I have.
Sorry yes I'll do em
Tomorrow :)
Both coins are from the reign of Abdul Mejid. As far as I can see from these not very clear pictures, the billon coin is indeed a 10 para mint in Constantinople (Istanbul) in AH1255//3 (1841). The copper coin is 5 para of Egypt dated AH1255//15 (1852).
I collect coins and tokens which circulated in Africa from 18th century to 2000. I sell about 7000 illustrated world coins from http://www.avscoins.com.
