Ottoman or Egypt 926 Sultani? [solved]

5 posts • viewed 147 times
Hi all. I'm not sure whether to call this coin Ottoman or Egypt:

Weight: 3.5g
Diameter: ~19mm
Mintmark: I think it's Misr (Cairo)



It looks more like this Egypt coin: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces63093.html
than it does like this Ottoman coin: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces63092.html

but Mitchener (page 206) has it with his "Ottoman Turks" coins.

Does anyone understand the nuances of how to classify this one? Thanks.

here is close to your coin, rotate the second image 180 degrees ...
Yep, agreed, very close match. So would you say it's missing from Numista or just a variation of the Ottoman coin I linked to?
For the East, I often turn to the Zeno base, there are many specialists on such specialized topics. I do not want to offend the Numista base, I myself use it very often, because in it I find many answers on other topics. Links to primary sources are in both databases. Zeno, in particular, is often answered by catalog compilers.
Your coin in the Zeno database is attributed to Ottoman Egypt, the Misr Mint also confirms this. If you look at the link I indicated, you will see the varieties of this coin, in some cases with a link to the Album, which is an authoritative source, it is referenced in many auctions.

on this link the coin is slightly different, but this is also Ottoman Egypt, the Misr mint
Yep, agreed. Thanks for the good information.
