Ottomana ?

[Mnelao]

Buon pomeriggio.

Posto la foto di una moneta che non riesco ad identificare. Qualcosa mi ricorda la Tunisia o la Turchia intorno al 1600, ma non ho trovato nulla di simile.

Un ringraziamento anticipato a tutti coloro che vorranno aiutarmi.

(diametro 15 mm, peso gr. 4,4, metallo ?)

Dear Friend

Your coin is not Ottoman. I believe it is AR, from the image.

It is an Ilkhanid Half Dirhem.

Please try to find more information here

After having looked in Akakce of the Yapi Kredi collection I found a matching type of style but not weight. I assume either you weighed it wrong or this is not listed in the book. Please check weight again.

Ilkhanid AE Fals Hulagu Khan 654AH-663AH, Erzincan 18mm, 1,75g (but heavily broken) Akakce#273.
