Ottoman Empire? [solved]

5 posts • viewed 81 times
Hi! Help me, please!



Thank you!
Well, we can see the date AH1115 (1704) at the bottom of the second photo, which is a typical date of Ahmed III, so yes it is Ottoman.

Now the question is which denomination. Maybe this: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces53698.html

What is the size of the coin? (You should always provide this when asking for an ID)
Copper
38 mm
I think it could be this one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces48937.html

Ottoman coins were made of debased silver; the silver content on this coin is listed as 46.5%

My guess is that the dark color is not really copper. I have some Ottoman coins from the next reign (22% silver) that are dark brown and easily mistaken for bronze.
Thank you!
