Hi everyone
I was sorting my collection and found this coin:



Obverse
Lettering:
٢٣
سنة
Translation: Year 23
Reverse
Lettering:
١٢٩٣
عز نصره ضرب في قسطنطنية

Translation:
1293
May he be victorious
Struck in Qustantiniyah

Diameter: 15 mm
Thickness: 0.9 mm
Edge: Milled

At the first I thought it is a Kurus coin, but it made of copper, so if anyone knows what is it please let me know, ty.
I'm afraid it's a fake imitation of the indeed silver 1 Kurus KM# 735 (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22661.html)
There were entire villages employed faking coinage during the late Ottoman Empire.
It is almost as interesting to have one of these counterfeits as a genuine Ottoman coin.

​ty for the answer
I had a tiny micro hope that it would be real since it was milled almost perfectly.
but oh well.

​ty for the reply.
that's true, even if it was fake it might be a part of an accessory.
and I really did wish if it is a real coin.
I can't remember how did I get it in the first place, maybe my father gave it to me thinking as it is real, or I found it.
