Abstract
The correspondence of the French consul Esprit-Marie Cousinéry with Joseph Eckhel and Domenico Sestini sheds light on the activity of Osman Bey, a coin forger living in Constantinople from 1779 to 1785. Thanks to detailed descriptions found in the letters, the author was able to identify seventeen tooled Greek and Roman Provincial coins kept in the coin cabinets in Munich (Staatliche Münzsammlung) and London (British Museum).
