I NEED HELP WITH THIS COIN

[sherin616]

The coin is Omani. On the front it says the name of the sultan Qaboos bin Saeed on the top. It is a 5 baisa coin. Oman used Indian rupee in the 1900s and this is how i believe their coins are still named baisa from the word 'paisa' as there isnt a 'p' in Arabic.

It is Omani coin and is of no use.

Antique collectors could be interested in this though.

It only says baisa - arabic way of saying Paisa -


The coin has some antique value to it - find the right buyer and you can get some good return on it -

Only advice i can give you dont try to clean it - it will loose its value -

i personally am not an antique collector , the collector collects to sell , i'm interested in the historicity of the object , if you followed my thread on pre-islamic persian art you see the art is drastically different in a span of say 200-300 years , and that says a lot
