Abdul Mejid (1839-1861), 5 para 1850 or 1851, copper. Egypt. Size - 21 mm, weight - 6,4 g.

 

thank you for the fast reply, i have been searching the internet for egypt 5para coins from 1850/1851, they look very similar to my coin, however my coin has markings that the others do not have (specifically, in the photo on the right that i posted earlier, near the bottom-right of the coin are markings that look like "L L" )

could these markings mean earlier than 1850/51? or later than?
also, could this mean the coin is not from egypt? i have seen some coins from turkey with the same image (as picture on the left) and with the LL markings but with a different design in the middle.

any help or suggestions? or a link to photos of exact same coin with confirmed info?

 

I see cipher "12" that mean: 12th year of reign. Abdul Mejid was a ruler during 1839-1861; 1839 + 12 = 1851. It"s easy question

 

okay thank you, can you please tell me what coin this is?

 

Abdul Mejid, 5 para 1852 or 1853 (14th year of reign), copper.

 

thank you very much! you have been quite helpful

 

Hey,

The first 5 para coin is a turkish coin, written on the reverse "struck in Constantinople", the second is an Egyptian coin written on the reverse "struck in Egypt". It has the same figures as a Egypt was a colony of the turkish empire during that period.

Cheers,

 

thanks!

 

I agree

 

thanks! confirmation from different sources is always helpful!
