Can anyone suggest an ID for this tiny coin please? Diameter around 10mm, silver, weight unknown. Found in ploughsoil, southwest Wales.

It's an Ottoman akçe.

Part of the turkish word for Constantinople is well visible on the first photo.

The ruler associated to your coin is another story… His name would be on the second photo, but that side of the coin is completely erased.
