Unknown Arabic Ar 13.46mm 2.0g Ottoman?
« on: May 10, 2015, 11:02:54 am »
I purchased this Ar coin in a lot with Late Byzantine and Bulgarian medieval coins.  It measures 13.46mm and weighs 2.0g.  It might be Ottoman.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  Pogh_poor

It looks to me like a Mamluk 'black dirhem'.

This not Ottoman. Not same writing style.

It seems like Abbasid or Mamluk.
