Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 09/19/2021 3:16 pm @chew, first welcome to CCF. Second, looks to me like your second pic needs to be rotated 90 degrees clock-wise. In any case, this looks like a late 18th Century Ottoman coin to me as I'm reading the fixed date as AH 1203 and the regnal year as 9 so roughly 1797 AD. Could you please add the weight and diameter of this coin to the thread? Thx.

ChewbaccaCC New Member Bulgaria 3 Posts	Posted 09/19/2021 3:57 pm @tdziemia sounds about right, but I'll measure weight and dimensions tomorrow, just to be sure. Report this Post to the Staff
