Scottishmoney Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 A larger image would greatly help in being able to determine what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlavicScott Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Definitely Ottoman. Maybe Turkey, perhaps Egypt. The beaded border leans more towards Egypt, but cannot be sure. Based on the small images, the toughra just doesn't look right; the line flows look all wrong. When you do get to your camera, try to lighten up the images some, if possible.

banivechi Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Constantinopole mint. To je sigurno. Ali ne znam ako je sedamnaest ili osamnaest veka. It's sure. But I do not know if it's XVII or XVIII century. Hello neighbour! I am from Timisoara/Temisvar - Rumunija! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
