Ottoman bronze...???

[mti]

Hello,

Coin, Possibly Ottoman, looks like a manghir...  in the Valentine's catalog - couldn't find a match...

It is pretty worn, but is there anything useful visible on it...?!?!  any text that can be read...?!?!

Here's the metrology of it:  1.8g  ||  16-18mm  ||  Copper/Bronze

Thank you for your help...!!!  =))

P.S.  In a mean time, I am heading to Zeno to search...

I think possibly Mamluk, Nasir-al-din Muhammad I (Third reign), fals, Aleppo cf. Balog Supp. 268A. My specimen below.

Thank you Alan...
Based on your information the time of this coin is about 1309-1341AD...
and I changed the orientation of my coin... I think this way is more accurate to view the, whatever visible, text...

Also I found a similar coin on Zeno, (will post a link a bit later) only it is attributed to a different ruler...

Found the link:  https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=88220

only a different ruler... and diffrerent Balog - 258...

It could be either of these sultans, but unfortunately there is very little inscription left, so we are guessing a bit.

Looking more closely at the actual catalogue I think it is more likely to be Abu Bakr as you suggest, but my guess at the mint is wrong and it has to be a Damascus coin.

My original suggestion was wrong because I had mis-catalogued MY coin, and the ruler of that should be Abu Bakr, though the Balog number was correct

The Balog number quoted for Zeno 88220 is wrong, it should be 268A (258A doesn't exist and 258 is a coin of Muhammad from Hamah without a star and with a rosette on the reverse).

So I would say your coin is very probably a fals of Abu Bakr from Damascus, Balog 267 (741 H) or 268 (742 H), as Zeno 247528 (for example). There are quite a few examples on Zeno, but that is one of the clearer ones. Unfortunately we can only say it is either 741 or 742 H because the vital final digit is totally flat.

Sorry for the previous misattribution.

Thank you Alan for your detailed replies... you don't need to be sorry for misattribution b/c it's working process of a research done by a group of people... so every bit of information helps us to get to the right/matching coin(s)... so thank you again... =))
