If you look at this URL, and compare the 100 Kurush (first picture) and the design in the centre, it matches the lower coin on my post. http://www.24carat.co.uk/worldcoinphotogalleryt.html The designs are the same, so it has to be Turkish. _____________________________ Today is the day I will find those goodies just waiting to be found .....

It was probably picked up by a digger in the first world war, and much later, tossed out. _____________________________ Today is the day I will find those goodies just waiting to be found .....
