I am trying to identify this interesting Islamic Ar.  It measures 17.42 mm and weighs 1.56 g.  It looks as if there is a 6 petal central design on one side similar to some Umayyad coins.  Any ideas?  Pogh_poor

Could it be an Akche of Murad II from the Aleppo mint?

"zarb Halab ضرب حلب" (Aleppo) seems clear, so that "Murad" in the loop of the tughra; but what Murad is it? is a question  ???

 :applause: saro. With that information, I found a beşlik of Murad III with the same flower in circle motive here. Not fool proof evidence, but it looks like a good indication.
