I think the one on the left could be "Bayezid II" because It looks like It's dated as 910 hijab, (13mm 1.55gr) And, I think the one on the right could be "Selim I" because It looks like It's dated as 924 hijab,(15mm 2.05gr) But for both, I would like to ask your help about the identification, I couldn't find any other sample coins for the two periods that I predicted. Thanks in advanced... Edited by Ottomali 07/04/2018 03:52 am Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 07/04/2018 4:39 pm I can't immediately place the coins but I don't see a date on either coin. If you invert what you see as "910", it is actually part of the word al-sultan. Similarly on the other coin, what you are seeing as a date is more likely Arabic script. In both cases, the dies are much larger than the flan, meaning only a tiny portion on the design appears on each coin. I have taken the liberty of editing your photos for easier ID.

Then, if there are not any dates on coins, it makes them really hard to identify, probably I have two anonymous coins now :) Thank you @Spence for your interest to my post.
