    I use to buy those treasure chests of all kinds of good to junk coins on ebay, and i pretty much got rid of all of them except for a few interesting ones i kept. Found this and have no idea what it is and if its worth anything. It appears to be silver, weights 2.3 grams, or 0.0810 oz., and about 11/16 in diameter. Any help is appreciated! arabcoinf.jpg arabcoinb.jpg

    Turkey silver 2 Kurush. Not sure of the year. Wait for more opinions...

    Maybe 1293 AH? (1876)
    Numista link.

    Edit: Wrong mint. One above was Constantinople.
    I rotated it so you can see the regnal year on the obverse more easily.
    See that "١٧" below the tughra? That's year 17 = 1892.
