Dear Friends,

I just came across this interesting coin which I'd like to identify.

Thank you!

In the nineteenth century there was a severe shortage of small change in Anatolia.  In many Greek communities the churches countermarked Ottoman coins for local circulation.  There is quite and extensive literature about these pieces in modern Greek, but I have only a passing acquaintance with these coins.
