Hello,
is there anyone in the forum that could identify this coin? It is a late Ottoman coin but that's all I can tell, since I do not read arabic.
Thank you in advance

I think that's the Mehmed bin Ibrahim toughra. Like so: http://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=33993
However i don't think your coin is made in Bagdhad. The side with the mint name is not very clear.

The toughra side looks similar, but not the same
The date can be AH(1)012
Ahmed I ?

Oh you are right it is Ahmed !
And the mint is probably Canca too.
Look here for a clearer written mint: http://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=53867
