I have a souvenir token, with engraved text over a 2 lei 1881 coin: SUSURLU - 19 SEPT-1877. I am very curious about this place, and the date in connection. Thanks in advance!

The village was immediately North of the Ottoman fortifications of Opanez. Susurlu was assaulted and conquered on 29 Oct/10 Nov 1877 by the 1st Vanatori Battalion and a battalion from the 5th Dorobanti Regiment, as part of the Siege of Plevna.
