I think it might be from Egypt or Turkey but honestly am not sure. I would appreciate any help on identifying its origin, age and potential value. Thanks tom Report this Post to the Staff

The last picture is too blurry for me to see the regnal year (the two digits below the design), which would narrow down when is was made, which was sometime from 1854 to 1860. Maybe a 12 (1855) or a 19 (1858)? Link! https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces19337.html Report this Post to the Staff
