Possible Ottoman Akce to id [solved]

3 posts • viewed 89 times

Got this in a swap as a Suleiman I Akce but the coin is clearly different (my partner noted that he wasn't sure of the attribution). 

Searching in our catalog the closest ones I could find are these two Bayezid II Akce and Selim II Akce ones; yet my coin seems different. 

Unfortunately one side is mostly gone, but hopefully there is enough detail on the other to pinpoint the exact type. (an image search in Numista brings up those two, but I also looked at several other silver 10 to 12mm coins with Arabic script and found no better matches).

 

The silver coin measures about 11 to 11.5mm in diameter -irregular- and weights 0.6gr although it may have lost some material over time. 

 

Thanks for your kind assistance.
