Hello all,
I believe this silver Ottoman coin is from AH 1223, putting it in the reign of Sultan Mahmud II. But I can't figure out what denomination it is. Can anyone tell me what denomination it is? Several denominations have this appearance but are different sizes. The coin is approximately 38 mm and I don't know the weight. The 5 kurus coin is 39 mm, which matches the size of my coin, but the reference 5 kurus has a dot below the wreath, so I wasn't sure if mine is 5 kurus (no dot below wreath). On the other hand, it's too large to be 100 para (34-35 mm). Links to the coins I was considering are below.

Thanks very much for your help.
