Coin from Moroco
« on: October 20, 2009, 04:37:16 pm »
Hi all;
Have no clue where to start on this one. It is 11.5 mm, under 1 gram. Obv. Six point star in middle of circle surrounded by triangles with dot, radiating from the center. Rev. has weave design. Was first posted under Judean Coin section but was told it may be Morocan. Any idea's?

Hi Ray

Sorry for the late reply but I haven't been on the board for a while.

It is an Ottoman manghir, the standard copper coin of the Ottoman empire from the 16th-18th centuries. Unfortunately I can't say any more because this particular type isn't in my only reference for these.

Best wishes
