? Ottoman Coin ID [gelöst]

3 Beiträge

Dieses Thema wurde im Forum Englisch veröffentlicht

Hi,

I have got 2 of these coins from a mixed bag, but when I search by date either as Gregorian (1876 & 1877) or Islamic (1293), I can't ID which coin it is. I am assuming it is Ottoman . I have searched 'all' with the dates and 'Ottoman empire'.

Where am I going wrong?
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
Close but no cigar; It's an Egyptian 5/10 Qirsh/Piastres from the reign of Abdulhamid II; back then it was a vassal of the Ottoman Empire:

The real (regnal year) date is under the tughra on the obverse; a little hard to see on your photos but it looks like "٢٣" or 23 (1897). The AH 1293 date is an ascension date, common practice for Ottoman/Egyptian coins.
Thank-you, first time I have come across this!

Regards,
Stewart
