Help requested. What are these coins?

Hey all. Just inherited these two coins. Pretty darn sure they are silver but don't have a clue of origin. Any assistance would be most appreciated! Twenty

They're definately written in Arabic. I'll guess they're Syrian or Iranian perhaps. I think I've seen that lion on a flag from the middle east. Check out some flags and match it up.

I have collected world silver coins quite a bite. I believe from the look of the coin with the lion with the sword. It is from Iran (Persia) probably before the Shah of Iran reign or maybe a commemorative of the self anointing of the crowning of the Shah of Iran. If you go and Google Arabic numerals you can find a site to help put a date to the coin. Than go to Numismaster.com and you can narrow it down on where the coin hauls from.

The third image in your photobucket appears to be a proof condition American silver Eagle, but I'm not positive. Can someone else verify this??? :mrgreen: :lol:

Thanks Ray. That's the one that truly had me stumped. :lol: Yeah, I did not get rid of that photo when sending these out. You have to admit, it is a beauty! :D

I see a similar coin on feebay that looks like it is a 1927. Quickly looking at the arabic I believe mine may be a 1928. Anyone...anyone?

These look close but it's hard to tell without dimensions and better pics.
