    The mark on the back is an Ottoman tughra.

    Thanks Hollyblue!!!!!
    Do you think it's a form of dating the copper plate?

    Very nice plate, Giuseppe. Is it copper (red), or brass (yellow)? And is it tinned where the mark is?
    I agree, it is marked with a Tughra, and it looks like an Ottoman Tughra. Some other countries used Tughras as well.
    To date it, you would have to go through a list of Tughras. I know from experience that it is very difficult. Most Tughras have only tiny dots or lines to distinguish them.

    Full image pics, so everyone can see:

    Yes, it's copper. The back is tinned. The tughra is on the back.
