Yes, it's an Ottoman coin. The swirl mark at the top of the second coin is called a TUGHRA (per Wiki: a calligraphic seal or signature of an Ottoman sultan that was affixed to all official documents and correspondence. It was also carved on his seal and stamped on the coins minted during his reign.)

Each sultan has his own TUGHRA. With more study, the name (and reign) of which sultan's tughra is on this coin could be determined.
