I found this one here: https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&sid=1648&lot=359 and in Valentine, page 27, nr 155
Unfortunately it is not as nice as the one from Album.
Size: 26mm
Weight: 7.85gr

An historical and well preserved and well centered coin ! even if it should be considered as Ottoman.
Baghdad has been lost by Persia under the Safavid Tahmasp Shah I and has been  further, and for short periods, re-occupated by Shah Abbas I and Nadir Shah Afshar.

Yes, Valentine shows it under Turkey, but Steven Album had his coin under Iraq but between two coins from Iran, so I decided I could show it here
