Any ideas of what this is? The reverse is blank which seems unusual. I'm not expecting it to be gold or anything but I would just like an identification. The sides of the hole is the same color as the coin. Thanks in advance for any help. The diameter is about a millimeter smaller than a dime, and the width is thinner.
Yes, a loose imitation of an 18th-century Ottoman gold coin for decorative purposes. If you rotate the image 180°, the inscription translates: "sultan of the two continents/ and emperor of the two seas/ the sultan, son of/ the sultan". The two continents are Europe and Asia; the two seas are the Black and the Mediterranean. Compare the right image below (properly written). http://www.brianrxm.com/comdir/cnspirate_ottoman.htm
Thank you, that was very helpful. It probably doesn’t have any numismatic value as it’s a copy but I’ll put it in a 2x2 with what you said.
