Independent grading. Permanent record.
Independent expert grading. Tamper-evident certification. A public registry of every coin we certify. From Ottoman issues to modern commemoratives across the region — the grade you receive is the grade the market recognises.
From Royal pounds to modern commemoratives.
Four eras. Decades of specialist knowledge. Every coin we grade gets the same precision, whether it left the mint in 1885 or last year.
Royal Era
Coinage from the Arab world's monarchies — Egypt's gold pounds under Fuad and Farouk, and other royal heritage across the region.
Ottoman Era
Para and qirsh issues across Ottoman lands — calligraphic dies, tughra-marked, four centuries of regional currency.
Modern Republics
Republic-era coinage from across the Arab world — circulation, commemorative, and special issues.
Medals & Tokens
Royal medals, commemorative tokens, and military honours — pieces that aren't strictly coins but carry numismatic significance.
Why your coin deserves IGA.
Four commitments that define every certificate we issue. Not features — convictions about how grading should be done.
We back every grade for life.
Every grade we assign is permanent — valid for as long as the holder remains tamper-evident sealed. If a serious dispute arises, our Grade Guarantee process applies. We stand behind our work.
Every coin, photographed for the registry.
High-resolution obverse and reverse shots, captured under calibrated studio lighting and permanently attached to your certificate in the public registry. Anyone can verify visually, anywhere.
Tap to verify. No app required.
Every IGA holder carries an embedded NFC chip uniquely paired to its certificate. Anyone with an NFC-capable phone can verify authenticity in under a second — no app, no friction, no doubt.
Every certificate is public.
The moment your coin ships, its certificate is live in our public Registry — searchable by anyone, anywhere. Buyers, auction houses, and insurers can verify instantly. Your record becomes part of the region's numismatic history.

What the market says about IGA.
From private collections to international auction floors — here is why dealers, members, and collectors choose us.
“When I started moving high-grade royal coins to international auction houses, IGA certificates made the difference between a guess and a confirmed price. The Express tier turnaround changed how I plan my consignments.”
“I inherited my grandfather's collection and had no idea what was authentic. IGA caught two convincing fakes and graded the rest. Everything is documented now — tradeable globally, and I sleep better at night.”
“The 4,000 EGP credit covers most of my submissions for the year, and the 10% add-on discount paid for itself in two months. Gold membership is a no-brainer once you grade more than a handful of coins annually.”
