Thanks for viewing.

The only info I can find relates to an old Ottoman Mining Company Token (old ebay) can anyone confirm or provide any further info. I cannot see any trace of the reverse. Thanks in advance.

Weight 1.73gm Diameter 18mm

The crossed hammers indicate the Norwegian Mint, but I'm just guessing.

hammers are indeed norwegian : http://markyourcoin.weebly.com/norw...e-noreg.html
Maybe Norwegian-Danish colonies? (Frederiksborg in Kpompo ?)

No I don't have additional info. There is a book that covers these types of tokens, but it's in Turkish.
