The only thing we're unsure of is the date. Your coin has also recently been posted on zeno.ru here, where they think it's a 5 para. Compare it with other Tarabalus coins, like this one. The die-cutters in Tripoli were very crude and shoddy, compared to those in other Ottoman territories. The name of the mint is often half-missing, and the toughras can look radically different from coin to coin. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
