    Hello everyone, been going through some of my father in law's coins he had these pouches with so many different coins and I have been able to identify some. I really would like to identify them all and put them in a coin book, but there are some that I would not have a clue where to begin to search for some of these coins, not in very good shape but...I hope that by looking at these coins someone might be able to identify what these coins are, again their not in very good shape I know but thought maybe someone with a good eye might recognize the coin.
    Thank you

    I believe this to be a Turkish 20 Para (could be another denomination depending on size) from about 1830 Christian date, 1223/22-25 AH. I do not have an example myself and Numista hasn't helped me either, so here is an extract from the relevant Krause KM# 588:
