I originally had this pegged as a 5 Para from 1839-1944 but I don't know how I got that years ago. Identified - moved to Exonumia forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

It's an imitation Ottoman coin. As I said in one of the earlier threads, the main giveaway is the regnal date at the top of the reverse: "Year 78". No Ottoman sultan reigned that long; the one that acceded in AH 1223 only lasted until 1255. 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
