Arabic silver(?) coin [решено]

5 сообщений • просмотрено 73 раз
Hi!
When I was young my late stepfather gave me a silver (he was a notorious liar, so I have no idea if it even is silver) coin that he told me he had found while on a diving trip. I recently found the coin again, and I got really curious about where it may come from or how old it is.

It weighs around 32 grams and is 44 mm in diameter and 2 mm thick.

I have no other information about it. I would appreciate any help in identifying it. Is it worth anything?





Thanks in advance for any help.

Do you mind to use your scales again, since 32 grams is very heavy for a coin with that diameter and thickness....

The coin has been identified in the next message. The date is 1203. What looks like a 7 is an ornament V:°

Ottoman silver, denomination Yuzluk, ruler Selim III, Istanbul AH 1203 (AD 1789)

It is peculiar that the date is written as 12037. The regnal year on your coin is 4 (about 8 o'clock on the second photo). The weight of 32 g is (somewhat surprisingly) correct, as this is a large coin.
Thank you so much :)
