Hello all,
I got this tiny copper coin in a batch of uncleaned (mostly Roman) bronze coins (shipped from Spain). While there's not much to it (13mm, 1.35g), I think there might be enough design to identify. But I can't find a match online or in my books. Can anyone help?
One side clearly has two stars and what looks like an Arabic letter, maybe. The other side has a circle and some dots.
Thanks!

Update: It looks a bit like these coins that are listed for sale on Etsy, but only identified as "ancient indian coins".

Update: This appears to be an Ottoman mangir, 14th-16th century. Here is a museum website that shows it: https://www.spurlock.illinois.edu/c...1971.15.0874
