I think this is a para from
Egypt. I see the number 87 on the bottom of the
reverse, so I think the date is 1187 AH. Too bad the reignal year can not be read at the top of the
reverse.
This coin was minted by Abdul Hamid I (1187-1203 AH / 1774-1789 AD). It is number KM#121 in the
Standard Catalog of World Coins, 18th Century Edition. The
catalog says this is a
billon coin from 15 to 15 mm in size. It should weigh between 0.30 to 0.40 grams.
