Hello ppl,
I have this coin and i think it is :
- 2 Kurush
- Selim III
- 1203/2
- 42mm wide
- around 1.8 mm thick
- bit above 24 grams

...but i also see that many people are selling it as 80 Para Selim III , or even only as Ottoman coin, etc...
So, can someone help me identify it correctly ?

Based on your measures seems to be Ottoman Empire KM#504.

​That is the page that i have bookmarked as it is the most similar one, but what about these differences ?


This one has more similar front , but different back side...also similar dimensions.

This is from Krause catalog but there are coins like yours.

And yes, Cycnos is right, 1 Kurush = 40 Para
