Please Help Identify Coin

Hello! First off, wonderful forum.

I'd be grateful if anyone could help identify this coin. I've done a bit of research online, but haven't been able to obtain any significant information. I believe it may be a Turkish coin, Ottoman coin perhaps. I'd appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

Excellent! Exactly the kind of information I was looking for. Thanks much!

 

It appears to be Egyptian, 1/10 Qirsh of Muhammad V, 1909-1914 (AH 1327-1332), year 2H. Struck at Heaton mint. I have this coin in my collection but nowhere near as good grade as yours. It should still be listed in the current Krause, but that I don't have so can't say for sure.

 

there's another identical 1/10 qirsh with ascension date AH1293 n a different km# .

 

EGYPT , "Ottoman" " 'USHR ALQIRSH" = 1/10 OF A

"Qirsh". A Qirsh is a Piaster , Accession Year AH 1327 = 1909 Christian era. Sultan Muhammad V Year : 2 , so the coind is dated 1910 AD.

I have 2 types of 2/10 Qirsh and 2 types of 5/10 Qirsh , all are from Egypt
