Hello Dear Forum members,

Ive got an coin in my collection which I cant identify. I even don't know for sure if it is an coin. It is really heavy and if they make millions of thes whe run out of bronze .

I think it is an ottoman coin/seal maybe? But it is dated. And verry heavy for an coin. Haven't seen this heavy coins yet.
I am wondering if someone can identify this piece.

It weights: 29,04 grams and the diamter is 34 mm. Thickness is 4,5 mm.

I am curious what this one repressents..
