Is it possible to id this one please - or I am completely off considering this is ottoman akce ?

Probably inspired by a silver akce of Murad II.

Compare Zeno 293352, 293357

But the metal looks off and the design is really very sloppy. Possibly a clumsy contemporary counterfeit for a far-flung part of the empire, but why bother with such a low denomination?

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

From style, it seems that's well an akçe of Murad II.
the right picture shows "ghazi.." with something before (sultan ghazi ?)
on left picture it seems that the mintname is off? (zarb & khald mulkh at top).
Murad II was called "Ghazi Sultan", maybe it could confirm that ?
