1255/1 Sultan AbdulMecid silver kurus.
Now I'm trying to get the denomination, so little difference between them. the size and the flower figure next to the seal/tughra

Most probably a 10 kurus piece, but something funny, no mention of a 1255/1 coin in my catalogue starts from 1255/6 up to 1255/23
Any wear on the coin that I read wrong?
here I circled the date figures, the one like 1700 with backwards 7 is 1255, 1 is 1

No problem Jim

if it's a V it is a 1255/7 coin it makes sense and it has a value of 20Eur according to my catalogue. IF it is a 10 KR, which is very very rare, you may have something there, but there's a big "if" there. I'm still trying to get exact denomination. So can you tell me how big is this one?

Well Jim, if it's 18mm in diameter it should be 2 Kr.
10 Kr pieces are 27 or 33 mm.
