On the first image there is the denomination with the accession year of the Ottoman sultan: 1293AH(=1876). On the other side you can see the "toughra", being the calligraphed name of the sultan and just below it, the regnal year "35" (=1909) This coin was struck at the Heaton Mint in Birmingham (UK) Report this Post to the Staff

However, if the stuff is crusty, you'd be best to leave it alone. Report this Post to the Staff
