Ancient and Medieval Coin Identification Help / Re: Akce of Suleyman I

What do you mean, Giba ?
Yes, the first coin of your series of four 10 mm Akçes has a star in (what should be) the middle. And on the www there are plenty of Mehmed II Akçes with a star in the middle.
Your fourth coin is probably an Akçe of Selim II, struck in Aleppo.
Look underneath:

Your coin is Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov (2023) 8.26.1.25.

8 stands for the city of Nicopolis
26 stands for the emperor Elagabalus
1 stands for the images of Zeus and his eagle, and
25 stands for the 25th type of the images of Zeus and his eagle.

Best regards
Jochen

I have a feeling that the legend on this might be Carian.
AR obol or hemiobol (depending on the standard), 7.3 mm, 0.37 g.
Forepart of bull right / legend around crescent (dor dot in crescent).
Does anyone know where it is from ?

Varbanov does not list your type - listing only (no. 3834) with the eagle standing on a wreath.
However, Hristova & Hoeft lists your coin as no. 86.1.25 (in contrast to most other coin catalogs, the coins are not individually numbered in H&H, but listed together on a page, with combined numbers, in this case 86.1.24-27, at the bottom of the page, depending on the legends).
Also see the examples on the RPC website, although the coin
https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/6/1310
that they cite as "86.1.25-26" (eagle on wreath) is actually 86.1.26 only (eagle on wreath).
