Broad period: MODERN

Silver lid of a windcap for a pipe, mostly likely a meerschaum pipe, made of a thin sheet of silver. The top engraved with a foliate design. Around the sides are a series of 10 square shaped protrusions. This cap would originally have been fitted by a hinge to a flat plate that would have been attached to the pipe.

This appears to be a billon (base silver) 20-para coin of the Ottoman emperor Abdul Mejid (AH 1255-77/AD1839-61). It bears the accession date 1255 [looks like a blundered 1700] and a regnal year that may be 5 - looks like a dot (= zero, in Arabic numerals, which doesn't make sense). (Besly, Ed, pers. comm., 2012) I believe the regnal year is ٢ ie year 2. Year 0 does not exist on coins. AH dates do not exactly match AD dates. The coin was minted AD 1840/1841. Mint is قسطنطنية ie Qustantiniya/Constantinople, present day Istanbul in Turkey. (Cannon, Paul, pers. comm., June 2016)
