Hallo Experten,
I have just bought this coin together with some 16th century turkish akçes
The seller couldn't identify it. Can you?
W:4,07 g. Diam: 22 mm. Bronze

Das Hexagramm weist auf Marokko hin, dort solltest du suchen.

Hello stealth,

Chippi should be right with Morocco. Regarding the size it could be 1 or 2 Falus, but because of the weight I assume that it is 1 Falus, probably from Moulay 'Abd al-Rahman (1822-1859) or Sidi Mohammed IV (1859-1873).

Unfortunately, the condition of the coin is bad and the year illegible. I only see a fragment which looks like a "2". The letters on top could tell us the mint. Maybe "Marrakesh", but that hint is just product of my own phantasy. There is not much to read.

If you have the chance to take a look into the KM catalogue, please see the different types of KM#C122 resp. C160, for instance.

Regards
MG

An die Mods: Das Stück stammt sicherlich nicht aus der Antike. Vielleicht verschiebt jemand es nach "sonstige"
