I had to buy this little piece of history from a seller all the way in Hungary (online)...but I'm happy to have found one for my 1869 set.

Or perhaps while hungry? (Sorry, I had to )
I bought it online from a seller in Hugary.
The coin is about the size of a U.S. 20 cent piece.
And lordmarciovam as weird as it sounds these script coins are also growing on me.
Robert Louis Stevenson's 1883 novel Treasure Island had this to say:
"... strange Oriental pieces stamped with what looked like wisps of string or bits of spider's web".
Ottoman Empire Sultani - Suleiman The Magnificent, AH 926 (AD 1520)

That's a pretty apt description. No wonder Robert Louis Stevenson was such an immortal wordsmith.
The research probably takes longer for a Pop 1 coin at PCGS (when no others have been graded). They probably have to create a new PCGS# for it, etc., in their system, but at the end I'm psyched I got it into a PCGS holder
Just wanted to circle back with you guys on this coin...
