Hello,
Recently received a pile of coins from my mother-in-law. I can't seem to identify these 2 coins; the first is an ancient weight 2.7 grams slightly larger diameter than a Lincoln Cent and is slightly thinner, I think it is copper. the second weighs 4.8 grams has the diameter of a nickel and is slightly thinner. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The 'ancient' is a Burbe of Mustafa III, Tunis mint, KM52.2. Yours is light, KM lists it at 3.3-4.6g. Last digit in the date appears to be a 2, so AH1172(1758) or AH1182(1768).

DCH Thanks for the info, I figured it was Turkish but could not positively identify it.
