<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GeorgeM, post: 1278272, member: 28550&quot;]What I have is a coin that looks very similar to Egypt&#039;s 20th century 5/10 qirsh. It has a much smaller Arabic 5 (the teardrop shaped circle), but is the same diameter as the 5/10 qirsh circa 1909 in the Krause guidebook. The ascension date appears to be AH1200 (possibly AH1300). </p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse is bare around the toughra on the obverse. There is no decoration towards the rim.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse shows a tiny teardrop in the middle of a bunch of Arabic script. </p><p><br /></p><p>For some reason, the &#039;image&#039; link isn&#039;t working today. I don&#039;t have the greatest pictures, but would share them if I could. </p><p><br /></p><p>Who were the previous rulers in Egypt? I tried researching Ottoman rulers and found 2 with short reins around 1781 (a rough translation of AH1200). Did the Ottomans use the same denomination coin over 130 years before though? That seems unlikely to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
