Small Silver Coin. Turkish? Ottoman? Persian?
« on: December 23, 2014, 08:35:24 am »
Hello,
I came across this small silver coin. It is about 11mm diameter and weighs 0.9 grams.
It looks to me to be Indian or Persian, maybe ottoman. It reminds me a lot of a Judaean widows mite but with an Islamic legend.
Any help identifying this coin would be appreciated.
Thank you

Update:
After a lot of searching online, I think this is an ottoman c.1450 Mehmed II or III Akce.
I've found some similar, but not exactly the same.

For sure, it is not an Ottoman coin. The style of writing in Arabic is not Ottoman style.
