bennycunha97 Valued Member Portugal 51 Posts	Posted 11/20/2021 8:22 pm Hello everyone! I got an ottoman akçe that I was told was from Suleyman. Since I don't understand much of this, I'd love to get some confirmation! Also any resources would be helpful, I didn't manage to find a good ofc catalogue or website for ottoman akçes. It is 0.7 grams and 12mm (on the long side) Many thanks for any help or comments! Benny Report this Post to the Staff

bennycunha97 Valued Member Portugal 51 Posts	Posted 11/21/2021 07:38 am Well that is funny! The person who swapped it with me did have it attributed, and I have no reason to distrust him. My question was more of confirmation than anything, and also asking for references for searching coins like this in the future and to read them. In any case I believe I have 100% trust in this zeno ID so that part is now resolved! And it's 100% my own coin because the username of the person who swapped it with me is the same as the one who posted that on zeno! Benny Report this Post to the Staff
