svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 5:16 pm It is from the Ottoman Empire but Egypt, not Turkey. Denomination 5/10 qirsh, Sultan Abdul Hamid II, ascension date AH 1293 (1876 CE), regnal year 20 (I believe). So it would date your coin at AD 1895. Welcome to the forum!

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 6:18 pm My catalog shows that year 20 is a key date, it's scarcer and therefore more valuable. In Fine condition you could expect an equivalent of US $3 for it, in Very Fine $10. Report this Post to the Staff
gringo211985 New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 6:20 pm Thanks, I think I'll chuck it in with a few others and do a 99p start on ebay. Again thanks for the info, would have been stuck without it. Report this Post to the Staff
