Akce, propably beginning 1700AD

This is Constantinopol mark.



I am not sure why is another sing below (Saray) mint. It should be year of manufacture.
Hello,
Mehmed III akce, Sidrekapsi mint, but another type (not on Numista).

It has a linear legend on the observe :

"Sultan
Mehmed
Ibn Murad
Han"

Could you create a new page for this coin ?

Sarajevo is closer to me, that's why I assumed this coin is from Saray, because it looks very similar to me

on coin -


But i need more explanation how to read this marks/signs on the coin:



So, this first part of Sidrekapsi is
on lower coin -

Second part of Sidrekapsi
on middle of coin -


Am I right?
Almost !
​Arabs write from the right to the left, so your second part is the first part (top line) with "Sidre" :



Followed by "Kapsi" :


The pronunciation is a bit different at the oral : we should add some voyels in Occident for a correct translation.
As you can see, the graphy of some letters is a bit different (it as a bit evolved). Sometimes, the "s" is just a long horizontal line attached to the other letters or a wavy line under a "dot" when it starts the word, like here :



NB :
The Alef (the "A") is never attach to another letter so it couldn't be Saray :


Saray can be read on this coin : https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=155756 (inscription at the bottom of the first picture).


Any corrections are welcome as I'm not an arabic speaker : I just learned how to read them by studying the evolution of the graphy from the early arabic coins until the modern period.
