<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1087017, member: 5739&quot;]The second coin in the first post is indeed an Ottoman Empire 2 Qirsh coin of Egypt dated AH 1293/27 which is 1901-1902 A.D. as said before. According to my Krause Standard Catalog of World Coins it should weigh 2.8 grams, is struck in 0.8330 fine silver and has a mintage of 1,000,000. </p><p>The &#039;W&#039; at the very bottom center at 6 o&#039;clock on the obverse is for Engraver Emil Weigand, Berlin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The &#039;1293&#039; written in the bottom line on the reverse is the year of accession, the number &#039;27&#039; near the top, below the three stars on the reverse is the regnal year, adding up to AH 1320. The number &#039;2&#039; on the obverse, below the toughra is the denomination.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
