Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 08/31/2020 08:27 am @mik, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree that better pics would help. Even when I crop, enlarge, and brighten your pics, I can't quite see what is going on with them. Thx.

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 08/31/2020 8:55 pm Yes maybe @gc (unless it is actually upside down and then the number would be 081 I think). While we wait on the OP for better pics, here is the best I can do with the other side. I wonder what that is inside the inner circle?

Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 09/01/2020 03:22 am It is a base-metal replica of a mid-1800s Ottoman Empire gold coin. The triple-ovals design is quite distinctive of the "Hayriye Altin" coin series. The original coins looked like this. These replicas were usually used for jewellery purposes, rather than an attempt to actually counterfeit the coinage. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
