Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 04/20/2009 8:23 pm Sorry, WD1040, it is indeed Ottoman Empire, but it's from Constantinople mint, listed under "Turkey" in the Krauses. The "2" on the obverse is the regnal year, not the denomination. Accession year appears to be 1327, making the coin's issue date AH 1328, or AD 1910. 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

Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 04/21/2009 05:01 am At "smaller than a threepence", it can only be a silver 1 kurush: KM#748. 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
wetglaswegian Member United States 917 Posts	Posted 04/21/2009 1:32 pm Good afternoon Sap , yes it is smaller than an old british silver threepence , an old canadian silver nickel is very small as well and comparing the 3 the mystery coin is the smallest of the 3 by a hair,but a noticable hair. Thank you very much for the id , I'm cataloging all my coins over these rainy days. Report this Post to the Staff
