Details

It would also seem feasible that these coins the second one dates from the reign of Abdul Hamid I could well have been minted as contemporary forgeries which were eventually holed in order to take them out of circulation. Both of them reveal a rather strange combination having been minted with the weight of a quarter sultani but in the module of a half. Nevertheless, both were produced in yellow gold and in a more authentic style, especially when compared to the coins in Lot # 35.
