Sap Moderator Australia 16834 Posts	Posted 05/14/2014 6:22 pm I see a pitted coin - perhaps a ground-find that had been cleaned - but otherwise it looks genuine to me. Ottoman coins are faked all the time; usually gold coins, but sometimes silver ones too. Many such fakes are amde for jewellery purposes and are found with holes in them, for wearing. I can;t say I've heard of problems with numeorus fakes of this particular series. 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

It has the feel and sound like all those chinese fake coins and medals. The sound of silver and billon is completely different. That is why I have some doubts Report this Post to the Staff
