<p>[QUOTE="THCoins, post: 2539922, member: 57364"][USER=56859]@TIF[/USER]: Would agree with 7Calbrey that the lowest line on the left reads Izmir <font size="6">إزمير</font> . Above it is a word that starts with "Har..". The script style could very well be Ottoman. It is not ancient as Pre-1300AD it was not customary to add the dotting of the characters. Also the floating style fits best with post 1600AD. I can not make a "Timbako" of the text on the other side. Looks more like something as "Tinakur" <font size="6">تناكور</font>. Unfortunately that does not mean anything. (Arab script is not always easily interpreted. Problem here is also that it is difficult to decide with which elements which dots belong, that makes for a different character meaning)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
