Hi, everybody.

I found this coin inside a lot of old coins in the city of Sevilla (Spain).
Metal: probably billon.
Weight: 3,57 g
Diameter: 23 mm
I can't identify the coin and I appreciate any comments.

Greetings.
Juan.


¡Holá!

I will just get the discussion started. The first line has the word "sultan" ─ سلطان

The second line has his name. I think it's "Abdul Hamid" (in Arabic "3abd al-Hamid") ─ عبد الحميد

Not sure about the third line.

​Thank you very much.
It is a pleasure to belong to this community.
I think the third line is simply "Khan" ─ خان ─ with some symbols between "Kha" and "n" as often.

It is likely an Ottoman coin from Tunis. The date and mint would be on the reverse side. Look at the site given below and scroll down to lot 48. Click on the magnifier image and compare.

Based on the diameter and weight, it is probably the fals:

The text is as I transcribed it. The shape of the "m" in "al-Hamid" is a little odd, which is why I hesitated.
