    Any hints about this coin?
    Thanks for the info, in advance.

    also, any idea of metal?

    acanthite ALIIS DIVES

    Its Turkish, possibly a 1 para, dated 1223 AH, year 8 (1814AD), Constantinople mint. However, for this date (or any other) I do not see one with that particular variety of obverse symbols (your second picture), so I can't be definitive about it. It may be some sort of token.
