Every coin in the Asia Minor set is perfect for Istanbul.

This is a great coin pack to be used for a game like Istanbul!

The clink of metal coins is so much more satisfying when playing a game than the papery thud of cardboard tokens. If you want to upgrade your cardboard coins, you can't go wrong with the selection of coins available here. I believe all the themed coins that come in tiny, small, medium, large, and jumbo sizes are made by Artana. These would have gotten a 5-star rating except for one niggle I have with them; the coin designs are embossed (raised) instead of stamped like you find on real-world money. So they do not stack well since the coin surfaces are uneven. Beside that one minor point that I have, the selection of themes available make it pretty easy to pick out a set or create your own sets to match whatever game you want to add these to. In this case, I'm using these coins in my copy of Five Tribes.
