Arabic style coin [solved]

6 posts
Hi. Can anyone help ID this coin (or whatever it is please) please? It is about 21.9mm in diameter, only about 0.5mm in thickness and weighs about 1.1g. I'm guessing it's some reproduction, but don't know enough to be sure. Thanks in advance for your help.

Wow, that was a quick ID, many thanks. :8D . Do you know if there is a catalogue entry for it, here on the Numista site, or is it just deemed to be a piece of costume jewellery? Thanks again for such a spot on ID.
no i think they are not on numista

Thank you, eBay it is then, but sold as replicas, not genuine coins. Thanks for all your help.
The tugra on coins are pretty complicated. The simpler the tugra, the more likely the coin is a fake or imitation.

Here is a good reference on Ottoman tugras
