YoshiRules Pillar of the Community United States 602 Posts	Posted 12/26/2014 4:09 pm My best guess is that this is a coin from the Ottoman Empire. The 4 symbols at the very bottom is the year of mintage. The symbols over it would be the mint name. Constantinople? EDIT: I posted my imilar coins on the site. Check them out. https://goccf.com/t/188776 Edited by YoshiRules 12/26/2014 4:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 12/26/2014 6:19 pm Ottoman coin with the other side ground down. Mint is Constantinople. The rulers ascension date is AH1255. And the year within the reign 4, the number on top. Together that results in the coin being minted in AH1258 = 1842. Report this Post to the Staff
