Hi, I got this para
 0.61 g. 14.6 mm
which I think that should be KM# 139.1
but it does not seem to have the regnal year marking that is used for this type
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces47751.html
Am I looking at the wrong id?
Thanks

This is km#:139
This denomination is without RY

Thank you gencho kitov for the coin ID:
The RY 27 for this coin, as shown in Numista table for this coin:
Mim Re (XXVII) مر
Ottoman, Sultan Ahmed III, AH 1115 (1704)/RY 27, AR 1 Para, Kostantiniyye (Constantinople) mint (AH 1115-1149/1703-1730 AD)
Numista N#47751

I do not see any letters left of the year. I do not think that it is KM# 139.1. There was a very good site with information about ottoman coins. You can still find it in the archive here (the coin on the right)

Thank you all.
KM# 139 has 2 variants (.1 and .2), but there is no other K# 139 variant aside. Krause does not list denominations without the year. For KM# 139.2 it says "Note: 'VIII' in toughra." without giving a picture.
On Maythem's answer "The RY should be placed before the year. Mim Re (XXVII) مر", are you seeing the RY in the toughra? Is it clear enough to say that is Mim Re? If indeed it is there, it should be a KM#139.2 which is not listed by Krause but following the pattern that the RY is IN the toughra, not before the date?

Thank you carpatic for the clarification.
