allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 08/18/2019 4:03 pm I have an Ottoman Coin, 40 Para (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces7864.html), with a countermark. I see that Hejaz countermarked these coins for usage afterwards, (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pi...14210.html). I can't make out the countermark fully. Can someone comment that might now more about these? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

The coin has definitely been punched with something. There is a cup on the side with the value (right side in photo), and the pressure was enough to flatten out the monogram (left side in photo).
