Hi All,
Found this yesterday around the site of a 17th century foundation. It's silver, 15.5mm (like a half dime) and weighs approx 0.5 g.
I can definitely say that some of the characters are arabic. I am pretty sure it's Ottoman. I am thinking maybe Egyptian or Turkish.
Hoping there's an expert out there who can ID/date it - or send me to someone who can.
Any info to help narrow it down would be useful.
Your Help is Appreciated,
Dan
