    I assume it is an Ottoman coin as I see the tughra in the first photo. Can you provide weight?

    @HiBucky
    It is only clear that this is an 18th century Ottoman coin, denomination 1 Para (billon). It is not possible to determine whether the tughra belongs to a specific sultan, as well as the year of minting.

    @IVB thanks for that, just read up on the tughra, it's inception and components. Peace Roy
