It's a coaster used by Ataturk to put his glass of raki on to. It was thrown into the sea by Erdogan and his islamist pals.

It's a clay trinket commonly sold by Cretans to stupid tourists.

>>1237789
it seems to look like one of those karbala clay used by shiites to rest their forehead on while praying, there seems to be some kind of writing but can not tell for sure if it is reading alhosain.

it's useless and worth nothing, see if you can sell it to a shiite fanatic.

Numismatic? It clearly isn't a coin, it is ceramic, and the lack of surface accretions (as well as the general fabric) suggests it is modern.

>>1237789
It's a Roach Rupee

Star of david was pretty popular with Oghuz muslims for some reason. Some Seljuk era mosques have it too.

Pic related is the flag Hayreddin Barbarossa used.

If it lay broken at the bottom of the sea for any length of time, it'd be unlikely that you'd find all three pieces close together, unless it was buried.

It's a circle.
