Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 07/20/2019 11:21 pm Ottoman is correct. Looks like 1 para, Mahmud II. Though it's dated 1223 (1808/09), regnal year 3 at the top of the reverse indicates AD 1810. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces113400.html Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7935 Posts	Posted 08/04/2019 10:58 am The Ottoman coin shown in your MA Shops photo is from a different year, AH1203, and would be very large, 42 mm, which is larger than a Morgan. The Ottoman silver para dated 1223 as suggested by Numisma is 12 mm, or smaller than a dime. That's more consistent with the coin photographed on a fingertip.
