Fourree, any ideas?
« on: January 02, 2004, 06:58:06 pm »
19mm, extremely thin. At the moment I have no idea which way round it goes, or which is the obverse.

I don't think it's fourré. :-\  It looks Islamic or 11th century Sicilian to me. ???

It doesn't look much like a fourree in the pic, but in hand there's no room for doubt. I think its Islamic but haven't got any further than that.

Hi

This is definately an Ottoman Mangir. Probably from Saray, under Suleyman II rule 1099AH. The obverse (left image) needs to be rotated about 100 degrees clockwise.

Hi

It says "Duribe fi Saray 1099"
But I am not too sure about Saray, it could also be Qstantaniyye

Hi Burak, i asked about the right pic because it's really similar to the right side of the following one. Is the legend similar?

Robert this coins date is 1099AH. Actually the mint is not legible but my guess is Saray, which is Sarajevo.

Lorenzo you coin is not an Ottoman coin. I am sorry I cannot help you out with it. I dont think it is Islamic. Where was it found?
