mmorgan22 Pillar of the Community United States 570 Posts	Posted 02/08/2015 10:29 pm Just picked this up from an antique market. It is stamped on the bank and has an embossed seal. I'm not sure if this is a note or not. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

I can give you a small hint to help with the search - the thing above the flags is called Toughra, it can help you identify which Sultan it was - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tughra From the scan it looks like it was Abdul Hamid II - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul_Hamid_II Maybe someone that can read Arabic could help more.
