I think on the other side you see that it is minted in 1907? After some rechearch is saw that there are a lot of varities of these coin. In particulair the thing next to the oil lamp and a lot other things. I hope someone can give me an right determination if possible ofcourse? The diameter is almost 24 mm and the weight is 5,84 gram Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16842 Posts	Posted 12/11/2013 01:35 am The "oil lamp" is known as a "toughra", and is actually the Sultan's signature. The coin is dated accession year 1293, regnal year 33. This converts to AH 1325, or AD 1907. There is, as far as I can tell, only one variety with this date: KM# 737. 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

Some kind of error occured.. On the bottom of my coin there is double minting or something? On the bottom of the backside with the toughra. I don't know how you call that ? Best wisshes, Vincent Report this Post to the Staff
