cerick Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 12/25/2016 11:03 am Hello Can anyone identify this silver coin? I believe it is Ottoman. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 12/25/2016 4:57 pm Seems to me, may be wrong, but I think that is a crude copy of an arabic coin. The year on it is 1223 which roughly corresponds with 1808. The design on the side displayed in the first picture resembles a 1 para coin from Egypt. The other side seems to be a mirror image incused in the coin. Is that correct? If so, I cannot find any match - leading me to believe That this is a copy. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34458 Posts	Posted 12/25/2016 9:00 pm I agree with bigsilver on this one. Maybe someone else who knows more will weigh in, but I'm not aware of uniface coins from this time period in Egypt. @cerick, could you please post a pic of the edge showing an area that loks like a tab (roughly 9 o'clock on the firtst image?
