Hi

This is a kharub from Tunis mint, struck under Mustafa III (1171-1187 H/ 1757-1774 AD), see http://www.osmanliparalari.com/26-3mustafa-1171/26-3mustafa-foto/26-Haru-1177-tunus.jpg

Unfortunately the year of issue (at the top of your right image) and the actual year (at bottom on your right image) are unreadable.

Best wishes

Alan

Thanks  Alan!

With the coin in my hand i believe to read the upper parts of the numbers/year AH 1174 / 1761 AD.

Hi

Sorry, but the only digits there are the tops of the 11 and the 'V' of the 7 (in red on the image below: the fourth digit is completely off the flan, and would be under the 'nun' of 'tunis' (in green).

Best wishes

Alan

I think I have the same coin as you... would love to hear more information that you may have found on it!

My coin has the opposite side worn from yours... maybe we can help eachother on identifying it. My photo isn't that clear but I am going to get in touch with my girlfriend and see if she can take a photo with her macro lens in the next few days. Also, I am working on getting someone to help translate the coin.

Look forward to hearing from you!
