This 1/4 surre gold altin 1223/16 is very different in stile ,from other coins from the same type. The weight is 0,44 g. Is this a genuine coin at all ?

I personally doubt it, looks too much like it used to be attached to a belt with plenty of others and then placed around a Lady's hip in the orient.

🤣
Loooks like it’s from a belly dancing belt
I am never worried about the hole. Plenty of authentic Ottoman gold coins have holes, even small denominations like this one.

I am more worried about the design elements (the unusual border, and the diamonds around the toughra) and the regnal date, which, as you point out, cannot be found searching in the normal places.
It is possible that the coin was attached somewhere on a object close to the one described in the previous two posts.
It also could have been used at our traditional Bulgarien women customs,because this was a way to preserve the gold or silver coin/s trough time and it to be passed trough generations as a heritage. The people in the those days( in the first years of 19 century) weren't very wealthy and this was a very precious object, ¼ altin coin was the result of many working days of labor .
The weight seems to be normal ,it also looks like it is minted which indicates that even damaged , there is a possibility that it could be genuine .
I agree with tdziemia ,that the border is very different ,I could only guess but I think that the diamonds are a images of the a tulip flowers . I encountered this on other gold coins. It is interesting to me because they are very different ,from other ¼ surre altin 1223/16 gold coins I have previously seen .
There was a nother 1223, ¼ altin gold coin that I saw few years ago and it also had a different border than the regular coins but I have to search for it's image.
This is a link to ¼ altin 1223/15 coin-
This one has the tulip with toughra, and has the “syntax” dot - dot - 1223. So it at least looks authentic.
The coin you posted at the beginning has some inscription under the date, and diamonds, not a tulip. This is more problematic.
Do you know if it contains gold?
I would like to apologize, when I looked the coin again I can see that your remark is appropriate,there are no tulips only diamond shape elements.
The text is clearly not the same as the one of ¼ surre altin 1223/16 coin. The first coin was tested and it shows gold quantity of 18 k.
It logical to me becaus if it was from a material different from gold it should have a smaller weight than 0,44 gr.
Here is a nother ¼ ,1223 Yeni rubyie coin,
that is a old forgery,probably from the same period. The weight is only 0,23 gr. ,the normal weight should be 0,30 gr.
It was teste twice and it always indicated that it is not made from gold.
