<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Eidolon, post: 3593637, member: 102103&quot;]Here&#039;s a cleaner looking one on Numista:&nbsp; <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces10923.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces10923.html" rel="nofollow">https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces10923.html</a></p><p>(Edit:&nbsp; just realized the previous poster already provided a the same link!)</p><p>&nbsp;It&#039;s in my (very obsolete) Krause guide under Egypt as a 1/20 Qirsh of Abdul Hamid II.</p><p><br /></p><p>I realized now that my approximation for the date is probably a bit off.&nbsp; If the starting year of the reign is year 1 = AH1293 = AD1876, I can&#039;t just add the regnal year minus 1 as the Hijri year is about 3% shorter than the Gregorian year.&nbsp; So depending on the how the months work out I guess the 12th year could be 10-11 years later or 1886-1887.&nbsp; I wonder if there&#039;s a convenient converter anywhere to get AH or AD years from Ottoman regnal years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
