*IMITATION OTTOMAN Cedid MahmudiyeThis piece came in a bag of modern Foreign coins - 21 pounds! May be gold inside!!!
The dating did not seem right to me! From the experts at Zeno, I found a similar issue..... This attribution from Zeno:
Imitation of gold cedid mahmudiye (KM, Turkey #645) with distorted inscriptions and fantasy regnal year 78. Made for jewelry purposes throughout the 19th and early 20th century, very likely outside Turkey: similar imitations are met in abundance in South Russia and Ukraine, along the shores of Black and Azov seas, where they were widely used for adorning Gypsy and native Greek women's garments.

So, as you see, it is not exactly a FAKE or a COUNTERFEIT - it is an IMITATION, so the makers could not get into trouble. The regnal years alone would show that the coin was not "real" -

An interesting piece that may turn up from time to time!

KURUZWAN - Ghengis Khan Siege CoinKURUZWAN - Chingiz (Ghengis) Khan Siege issue AE Jital Kurzuwan 618AH. This AE jital was struck in Kuruzwan, (Central Asia) in 1221 AD while the city was under siege by the Mongol Armies of Chingiz Khan. Kuruzwan was a major mint and trade center. Chingiz Khan attacked the Khwarezm Empire in revenge for an attack on a caravan of merchants under his protection. His revenge included the massacre of a substantial portion of the population and the siege and destruction of most major towns. The city of Kuruzwan fell to the Mongols after about two months (in July 1221) and most of the remaining inhabitants were slaughtered. The coin date is 618AH.
