Kirt Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Just got here myself but what you have there is a very nice copper Ottoman Empire 40 para from 1857. Should weigh 21.2g and have a 37mm diameter. The coin needs to be rotated counter-clockwise 90 degrees; the obverse (your second picture) should have the "١٩" at bottom and the reverse (your first picture) should have the "١٢٥٥" at bottom. The "١٩" is the date in the Islamic calendar; year 19 or 1857. Nice coin! Take good care of it. Crawtomatic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
