Question About Iranian Rial Composition [opgelost]

3 berichten • 384 keer bekeken
According to this Wikipedia page, the 50 Iranian Rial coin is composed of copper, nickel, and aluminum.

I know this may seem like a random question, but does anyone know how much of each material that is in grams? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Welcome to Numista!
When asking about a coin it's always a good idea to post photos of both sides, plus diameter and weight.
I assume you mean the 50 rial coin minted starting in 2003, which is listed in Krause as KM # 1266, with the composition of aluminum bronze (percentages not given). Here's the Numista listing

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces6998.html

The diameter listed is 20.1 mm and the weight listed is 3.51 g.

Here's a review article on aluminum bronze alloys used in coins:

http://www.biblical-data.org/MY_aluminum_Bronze.pdf

On the second page there's a table listing common alloys used. For these the aluminum is 4-11.5%, iron is 0-6%, nickel is 0-6%, manganese is 0-2%, zinc is 0-3%, and the balance is copper (72-96%).

Hopefully this helps, or perhaps another of our members can give you the specific composition of your coin.

​That actually helps a lot, thanks.
