Dear Konstantin, the mint on your coin is " Sidrekapsi سدرة قبسي " shown  at the bottom of right photo:
Siderokausia, Sidrekapsï (سدرة قبسي), was a silver and gold mine active in the Byzantine and Ottoman periods, located in the northeastern Chalkidiki peninsula in northern Greece. The settlements of the region are known to this day as Mademochoria, "mine villages". In the Ottoman period, a coin mint was attached to the mine.

Coin collecting has a curious name. It is also called the "Hobby of Kings".
