How it works

Three simple steps

  1. 1

    Photograph the front

    Take a clear photo of the front face, with the whole rim and lettering in view.

  2. 2

    Add the reverse if you have it

    The other side can add useful context. It is optional.

  3. 3

    Compare clues and next checks

    Review observations, possible matches, and what to verify yourself.

Evidence, without overclaiming

A thoughtful way to explore

Visible clues

Start with details that can be seen in the photo: lettering, symbols, style, and more.

Historical context

Explore suggested background about people, places, or periods when information is available.

A closer look

The edge is visible. The lettering needs a closer look.

Start with one visible detail, then decide what else needs checking.

In this example, the rim looks continuous.

These clues are invented for the example. No coin photo was submitted.

Frequently asked questions

Can a photo identify or authenticate a coin?

A photo can support a provisional visual reading. It cannot authenticate a coin or establish its grade, condition, rarity, or market value.

Do my photos get sent as soon as I choose them?

No. Choosing a photo keeps it in this page. You decide whether to submit; selecting Continue to analysis sends the request through this site's Worker to Qomza.

How long is submitted information retained?

See the Privacy page for the retention period and details about what a submission includes.

Which photo types can I upload?

JPG, PNG, and WebP are accepted. The reverse side and the short note are optional. If your photo is HEIC, export or share it as a JPEG from your photo app first.
