Ossman III 1168 AH
« on: December 16, 2011, 09:32:06 pm »
Hello,

Similar coins that came along with this one were attributed to Mustafa IV.  Will someone please help me attribute this coin?

Thank you

15 mm, 0.5 grams

Weight suggests  denomination is 5 para?

Regnal year 116? can be only 1168 AH,
thus Othman III. Misr mint.

i think part of the die was filled that s why the 8 (inverted V) looks more like a 1

but you can see the faint remains
