bart Pillar of the Community Belgium 651 Posts	Posted 01/03/2014 08:02 am Date is AH1255/16, where 1255 is the sultan's year of accession and 16 is the actual regnal year. 1255/16 corresponds with AD 1854. Report this Post to the Staff
nealeffendi Pillar of the Community Australia 852 Posts	Posted 01/19/2014 06:25 am The coin is from Constantinople as the mint name is Kostantinye (written above the 1255 accession year). On the opposite side is the year 16 as correctly pointed out by Bart, although the year is only approximately 1854 as the H year overlaps 2 AD years. The 16 is above the sana, below the tughra (cypher). Report this Post to the Staff
