[QUOTE="willieboyd2, post: 3864437, member: 4910"]Nice coin! I learned something new about these coins from this thread; some have the Sultan's regnal year on them on the reverse lower right. My two zeri mahbub coins were struck in Egypt and have no regnal years, apparently by design. Egypt was an Ottoman Eyalet (province) but was semi-independent under the control of Mamelukes. [IMG]http://www.brianrxm.com/posts/post_ottoman_zeri_mahmud_1143.jpg[/IMG] Ottoman Egypt Zeri Mahbub Sultan Mahmud I AH 1143 (AD 1731) Gold, 20mm, 2.61gm, KM-221 [IMG]http://www.brianrxm.com/posts/post_ottoman_zeri_mustafa3_1171.jpg[/IMG] Ottoman Egypt Zeri Mahbub Sultan Mustafa III AH 1171 (AD 1758) Gold, 20mm, 2.33gm, KM-334 :)[/QUOTE]
