<p>[QUOTE=&quot;manny9655, post: 4899887, member: 112417&quot;][ATTACH=full]1182360[/ATTACH] Did a little searching...it looks like the tughra of Abdul al-Ḥamid II, who reigned from 1876 to 1909.&nbsp; &nbsp; I am not an expert on Ottoman coins.&nbsp; However...I have a photo of the Turkish document from 1898 when the island of Crete was freed from Ottoman rule.&nbsp; The independence documents were signed by all parties at my family&#039;s home in Crete and the home served as independent Crete&#039;s first capital.&nbsp; I&#039;ll upload the photo.&nbsp; The tughra is a perfect match to the one on your coin.&nbsp; So we know the time frame.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
