    I would agree with Davey/ for sure Ottoman Empire/ but that Empire at one time stretched from Tunisia to parts of Hungary, as far east as Persia. The symbol/Tughra is the Sultans.....

    Any thoughts on when they were minted? These are tough!

    Like a needle in a hay stack! The Ottoman Sultans had hundreds of mints, throughout their vast Empire. I cannot read "Arabic Script".:(
