I will print off your translation and keep it with the coin. Thanks to you too Deniz and you are right I was partying at the Panto in Southend and we had Fish and chips before with a couple of glasses of wine, although I could not drink because it is my wife's birthday and she did the drinking instead..The Panto was good though...Gets you in the mood for Christmas and the new year.



On that note I wish you and your families both a safe and enjoyable Kutlu Bayram. MR-from NG....We might be meeting up at the end of next week and I will let you know if it comes about......You are invited too Deniz..I owe you both a drink.

Keep safe my friends.....


Really looking forward to it Zan.

As was usual for Ottoman coins, the inscription is in Arabic and reads as follows (the punctuation has been added for the sake of clarity):

Es-Sultân
Ahmed bin Mehmed Hân,
dâme Mülkehu. Duribe fî
Kostantiniye.
1115

The translation is as follows:

The Sultan Ahmed son of Mehmed Khan, long may his reign continue! Struck in Constantinople in 1115 (= AD 1702-1703).

This is a desirable coin Zan.

Happy Bayram to you and your family.



Job well done. I was waiting for Zan to finish his partying. You saved me the exercise. Zan will be delighted. :lol:
Thanks


Thank you Deniz but the credit goes to my son. He is spending new year with us and I got him to help. He is studying at Harvard and this is a subject very close to his heart.



All honours to your son then. :lol: :lol:
