Dears,

could you please help me with identification of this?

Thanks !
Does anyone match with these coins in design and physical characteristics? If so you're quite lucky even your coin was holed

Thanks for reply !

I guess it is nothing from these. The most similar one is :

There is also diameter 17mm.
But..

There is year 1222 on my coin, not 1223.
Morover number for exact year identification is 78, not 26-32.

I guess writing is also slightly different - but as I dont understand arabic..I am lost.

​My 1st link contains the listed coin.

Did you try to take its weight?

I'm thinking this coin may be a counterfeit or a jewelry replicate. Weight may give us important precisions.

Unfortunately I have no that accurate weight. Its less than1 gram.

It is possible that it is replicate, I try to consult withsomeone that speak arabic. Hopefully it will help...
Regnal year 78 means it's a belly dancer coin since it's an impossible regnal year. It was not meant to be used as a real coin. Might be some precious metal in it tho, if you're lucky and it was a rich belly dancer. :D
Belly dancers used to dance wearing coins ? Nice, should be wonderful era.
At least date 1222 of Arabic calendar is valid?
Sorry but that's unlikely as they were produced to seem old. The ones I've seen sorta like yours were made of brass. I don't know how to tell the difference except by weight.

​Complete correct. These belly dansers keep popping up a lot.

This is a "belly dancers' costume" imitation Ottoman coin. The tip off is the regnal year, 78. Neither Mahmud nor any other sultan has ruled this long. As for the content, I wouldn't expect any gold in it at all.
