SYRIA: Islamic State, LOT of 5 coins, all fantasy issues of the ill-fated Islamic State, including 10 dinars (3 pcs, silver-plated) and 5 dinars (2, one with mosque and arched pavilion design [silver-plated] and one with world map [brass]); all dated AH1436, all crown-sized and prooflike, in consignor's 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 holders and capsules; retail value $200, lot of 5 coins. There is not a lot of information about these issues, even nine years later. Six people were arrested in Turkey in the province of Gaziantep for illegally minting coins for the Islamic State in October 2015. Minted coins, dies, and other minting materials were confiscated by police. You can read more about these issues in several articles featured in the E-Sylum newsletter.
