<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 1481646, member: 25270&quot;]I bought this coin on eBay. I knew it was misidentified and now I&#039;m trying to figure out what it is. I read the date as 1223 + 28, making it 1834. The seller said it was a 20 para. In Krause I see for Turkey the only 20 para at that time were silver, and this is a copper or bronze type metal. I looked at Egypt, and there is a 20 para from that year but the photo doesn&#039;t seem to match. Mine has a wreath around the date and that doesn&#039;t seem to be on the Egyptian coin. The Egyptian coin it says is billon. I&#039;m not sure what that is but I feel like it is sort of silver, but I may be wrong. Any ideas?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
