Nice silver piece @chrsmat71 ... @stevex6 .. you have many more cool stuff that you can post.. haha

 

Which mint is yours from? I've learned to read dates in Arabic but mints and other words. Well the struggle is real.

Anyone else collect these for that matter? Just the proliferation of different mints where they were produced just under old Suleiman is insane
