Islamic Caligraphy and Numismatic - ID Help with three odd coins

Radu, great idea to show some Islamic coins! The attribution is right, except the date of minting. Coin 1 and 2 are minted in the second year of Selim’s reign, coin 3 in the forth year. You find the year on coin 1 and 2 in the 3rd row, left and on coin 3 on top of the front side (by the way, it is normally treated as the back side and the site with the Tughra as the front.) The Tughra reads: “Selim han bin Mustrafa elmuzafferü daima” – Selim, Lord, son of Mustafa the Ever Victorious.

If your are interested in Ottoman coins, try to get hold of some literature, I recommend:

1. General
