Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 09/16/2012 1:30 pm What size/weight is it? Appears to be one of the smallest denominations, but good news is that it does look to be a genuine gold coin. Crude imitations of these are very common. Having a hole is also pretty common for these. Report this Post to the Staff
Jeff 11 Valued Member United Kingdom 497 Posts	Posted 09/16/2012 6:44 pm Its a fairly scarce Gold 2 Cedid of Adli Mahmud II. Weight should be around 4.4 grams I think? Its in nice condition, don't know of any un-pierced and looks to have some original lustre www.kingstoncoincompany.co.uk Report this Post to the Staff

chiftelov New Member Greece 2 Posts	Posted 09/17/2012 05:39 am Thank you all for your feedback. The coin weighs 4.7grams and the diameter is 29mm. Does anybody know the approx. value? Report this Post to the Staff

The regnal year (shown above, inside the inner circle, same side) is 9, so I'd date the coin about 1816. Report this Post to the Staff
