    I have two of these. The images above of are one coin/token I have. The obv has a tughra, turkish?
    I believe it's a token possibly for a bridge or toll passage, but I'm not sure.
    Some help would be nice.

    These coins are from Turkey I beleive, probably early 20th century. The turkish unit of currency is the lira, so this a probably a 1 lira coin.

    This is definitely before they changed to kurus, let me do a little more research.

    The date under the tughra is 1332,AH or approx. 1912 or 1913 AD,
    but there's no value on the coin. That's what gets me. Most coins have the value in numerals.

    a lot of ottoman coins didn't have a value on them
