Ken Spindler of San Diego writes:

I don't read Arabic beyond about five words and the numbers, but the lower image coin shown under MORE IMAGES OF ISIS COINAGE certainly appears to be a common 25 fils coin of Iraq, 1975/AH 1395, KM-127; mintage 48 million - from long before "ISIS."

Chip Howell agrees. He writes:

That bottom coin looks to be an Iraqi Republic 25 fils, 1975/1395AH.

Thanks, everyone! I'll pass the information back to our reader in Syria. -Editor
