    Hello, can you help me with this one, i know it is Mehmed IV, but is it dirham or beslik??? Lybia, or Syria? Diameter is 18mm, and weight is 1,4gr.
    Thanx

    More likely to be a silver Dirham which was struck in Constantinople or Aleppo.
    Hope I'm right.

    I'm pretty certain the weight indicates a beslik. Very uncertain: in my limited experience the tughra means it's from Syria, not Tripoli.

    In any case, nice coin!
