A few bits that I have recently added to my collection 1277/4=1863 Egypt 20 Para Abdul Aziz 1868 Papal States 10 Soldi Pius IX 1911 Turkey 1 kurush Sultan & Caliiph Mehmed V 1915 Hungary 10 Filler KB mm = Kremnitz
First coin is a 20 Para of Abdul Aziz 1277/4=1863. Appreciate the correction I was going by what was on the coin holder
Cool Ottoman coins. I always liked them, I don'y have any silver ones from Egypt. Very interesting Papal coin as well. All of these are from the Constantinople mint. First and second pictures: Turkey AH 1293/19 2 Kurus Third picture: Turkey AH 1327/6 10 Kurus The two last pictures are of a Turkey AH 1293/15 5 Kurus I have yet to add any of the smaller para denominations, or the silver 20 kurus to my collection, one day perhaps. I always liked how some of the Egyptian ones have nice flowery designs.
Thanks... Thanks, I got most of those Silver Turkish Ottoman coins about 5 years ago from a local coin shop for quite inexpensive prices.... I think I paid just a couple of dollars for the high grade 2 kurus, the one in the first pic I posted in my last post. This is the only Ottoman Empire - Egypt coin that I have, AH1293/29 5/10 quirsh, pretty poor condition, I got it out of the .25 cent bin. I like the flowery-ness of the obverse. A later Egyptian coin I always liked the design of is the Egypt 1944 silver 2 piastres. I have several examples myself. Here is one. Apparently quite a low mintage as well.
