<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 16549, member: 669&quot;]Based on the dates at the left and right of the head, the script seems to be Arabic-Turkish.&nbsp; I believe those dates are 1295 and 1324, which would be roughly equivalent to 1878 and 1906.&nbsp; There doesn&#039;t appear to be any denomination on the coin, and most (not all) muslim coins I have seen do carry a denomination.&nbsp;&nbsp; Double dates usually indicate some kind of commemoration, so perhaps it is a medal commemorating the (short) life of the person shown. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>A quick run through of the Instant Identifier section of Krause didn&#039;t turn up anything, and a page by page search through 2200+ pages of the 1901-present volume just isn&#039;t feasible.&nbsp; What&#039;s needed is someone who can read the legend. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
