loose54 Valued Member United Kingdom 51 Posts	Posted 05/24/2014 2:23 pm Hello all, Can anyone help attribute this silver eastern coin I have? I thought is was possibly Turkish in origin but cannot be sure. It is roughly 4.5cm in diameter and weighs 32 grams. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Jack.

loose54 Valued Member United Kingdom 51 Posts	Posted 05/24/2014 2:58 pm Thankyou for the very fast attribution! May I ask, what characters are the date identifiers? I only really collect British milled coins so this eastern pieces are a whole new world to me! Also, it appears that it could be of some value after a very quick internet search, do you think this may be the case? Many thanks once again, Jack. Report this Post to the Staff

loose54 Valued Member United Kingdom 51 Posts	Posted 05/24/2014 6:14 pm Sorry to keep bothering you on the matter but would you be able to tell me how you distinguish between KM-67 and KM-507, a Yuzluk of the Ottoman Empire? It really appears to be a very confusing series! Thanks again, Jack. Report this Post to the Staff
alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 05/24/2014 7:16 pm The short answer is that I can't. I wasn't aware of the Empire coin so there's every chance that my attribution is wrong. You need to ask the moderators to move this to the appropriate forum where more experienced eyes can see it.

Sap Moderator Australia 16871 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 06:14 am I moved it for you. Yes, sorry, the coin is not from Libya. The mintname is immediately below the toughra on the obverse, and reads "struck in Islambul". Islambul was the occasional name for Constantinople/Istanbul; the coin is listed under "Turkey" in Krause. The date is actually "regnal year 2", or 1203//2 as it appears in Krause. This converts to AD 1789-1790. 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.
