Coins and writing.
There is discernible writing on most of them. I have to take off for a while, but if I have time I'll photograph one or two later tonight and post 'em. I don't have the best camera for that, but think I can do it reasonably well.
I sent a couple of pictures off to a friend with a Turkish wife to try to find out what alphabet some of them are, didn't hear back. I'll see if I can find those.
Ma's notes identify some of them as "Alexander the Great" and give some circa's, but the coins have long ago fallen off the cards.
