1 1/2 Kuruş 1222 Ottoman Empire Determine the authenticity [επιλυμένο]

5 αναρτήσεις • προβλήθηκε 180 φορές
Hello, please help me determine the authenticity of the coin.
Weight: 2,8 gr.
Diameter: 26,5 mm.
Density of metal: ~8,75 gr/cm³
As I understand it, the coin should be silver, but mine is definitely not silver
I am going with fake on this one.

1. the accession date should be 1223, not 1222 (the coin is worn, but I still do not think the last digit can be a three),
2. the regnal date does not look correct, it should be 26-32 for this type, and yours appears to be 25
3. the execution does not look as precise as either of these catalog references (even taking wear into account) https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces33123.html

The real coin might be considered billon rather than silver, so the density would be lower than expected for silver anyhow. I expect this coin could be made of some base metal and plated to look like gold.
it is made of solid metal, without plated, it looks like brass. I found a similar, in the Exonium section, a replica of the Ottoman empire.

Thanks for the help!

I agree it looks very similar to the token, only the size is different.
