Constantinopel munt
Reshat
5gr - 15,9mm
This is a "belly dancers' costume" imitation Ottoman coin. The tip off is the regnal year (RY), 78.
Neither Mahmud nor any other sultan has ruled this long. As for the content,
I wouldn't expect any gold in it at all. The image on this coin is not very clear.
I'm sorry : it is a fake

corrections welcom
