I am looking at a coin that appears to be from the Ottoman empire but Krause doesn't list this coin. Even the coins on the database here whilst similar are not the same. Can anyone shed some light as to which denomination this is thanks. It's silver 20 grams.

Looks same, only that on the Numista link the fotos are exchanged for obverse and reverse.

Like I said it is almost identical but it differs. Look where the coin in your pic cross over each other or top right on the coin at the back . 2 arrowheads with outermost one pointing down on the raised stop. On my coin there is 1 arrowhead on the right side of the raised stop and does not point down to it. But I think we can assume it is the same denomination?
