    Hi guys, been a long while since I posted here but I have recently got back into my ancient coins. I pulled this one out of my collection but have no experience with Islamic/Arabic coins. Can anyone help point me in the right direction with this one? It's fairly worn, but a nice looking silver that I'd like to know more about.

    Sorry if the images are a bit poor, but you can see the detail that's there.

    Thanks!

    Bayezid Akce perhaps?

    I'm afraid not... Could be an early Ottoman, like Kiwiti suggests.

    Certainly not an expert on these. But agree with the Ottoman Akce suggestion.
    On your left photo in the middle will be part of the name of the sultan. From what's there i'd guess either sultan Mehmed or Murad.

    Interesting markings. Dr. Tandon from CoinIndia would know—or you could check out his site on VCOINS—you might see something like it.
