Hi everyone, I just got these two very small Ottoman coins. They are both about 10 mm/ 1cm in diameter. Other than that, I know little except the fact that the seller is trustworthy (Dirty Old Coins) and that they were said to have been from 12th-15th centuries.
Also, is there any way to find the mint mark on such small coins? Or is it the case that these often lacked much information found on larger denominations?
Archraz, they are late medieval Ottoman Akche coins. I am able to read the second one partially, it seems like second one belongs to Sultan Bayezid, which is around early 1400's. They're similar in value to British medieval pennies.
