Hello everybody! Who could help?
It looks similar Ottoman empire
#588 Yirmilik - Mahmud II (Kostantiniyye mint) 1223 (1828-1832) Silver (.220) – 1.6 g – ø 21 mm
- but it's COPPER!
1223/21, Weight 1.57, diameter 20.67, thickness 0.66


Kind regards
Peter
I prefer to trade on basis of actual market value, maybe Krause-Mishler World Coins Catalog and NGC, european standard currency maybe on face value, silver for silver coins, old for old, high value for high value - we should first make bargain.

Yes, but on the page
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces42617.html
it says Silver (.220) so only 22% is silver, then the rest (78%) may be copper or similar. 8)

This is a very common surprise among collectors:

As Arno said this confusion is common. The reason for this is that the silver is still worth much more than the copper. Copper is around $6 per kg or $0.20/oz and silver close to 100 times as much. People like to know melt values, even if for this coin that is quite irrelevant. Nice historic piece!
