Hello Giba,
I took a quick look and I think it might be an Ottoman Akce of a Sultan Suleyman.
As I am just back from a 10km walk which ended in a restaurant and it is bed time here, I 'll see tomorrow if I can find the identification of this piece.
Till than  ;).

As I wrote yesterday, to my opinion, this coin is een Akçe of Süleyman I, the Magnificent.
Those coins are difficult to find in good condition on the www.
Probably yours is the kind, struck in de Novaberda mint;
Underneath:
1- The identification on Numista.
2- A comparison of the details on your coin and on another Akçe of Süleyman.
3- A third coin with quite clear details:

Waw! Not easy (for me).
Coins of 15 mm are already rather small. Coins of 10 mm are small! Nevertheless they are also Akçes.
The obverses of your second and third coin make them almost certainly Süleyman I coins.
I took your nr. 3, because it has the year 926 below on its reverse, so, a Süleiman I without doubt. But if you look on the www for "Süleyman I Akçe 926 AH", you will find that every mint has struck its own reverse. And there are many. I think, your coin was struck in Kastamonu.
Your nr. 1 might be a Mehmed II Akçe.
Your nr. 4 I still did not look.

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:

The right comment to this last coin is:
Aleppo Eyalet (Syria) - Sultan Selim II the Blond - struck 976 AH = 1569 AD.
