Sap Moderator Australia 16816 Posts	Posted 01/29/2008 7:52 pm Indeed it is Ottoman Egypt, denomination 10 qirsh, similar to this one on WCG only with a later date. The one on WCG is dated 1293 Year 11 (= AH 1303 = AD 1885/6). Yours is dated 1327 Year 3 (= AH 1329 = AD 1911). The obverse) is normally regarded as the side that names the ruler. The ornate squiggly thing (called a "toughra") on your lower picture (#1230) is the Sultan's signature. The WCG pics show it right-way-up. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 01/29/2008 8:14 pm The ones I've seen look more like this: I have some questions regarding this coin's authenticity, and if I saw it on ebay I would probably report it as suspicious and start a thread about the seller here on this website.

Gene Carr Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 01/29/2008 8:31 pm Thanks guys. Mine looks, weighs like KM # 309 10 Qirsh. The thing is, I bought 10 30 pound bags of silver coins. Most are no brainer but so far, I have found about 45 fakes like the Hungarian 1938 FIVE Pengo that is 5 grams light.(A 1 of 50 issue if real) I am really loving going through this batch and have founf some incredible coins. As soon as I get enough posting credits here, I will offer some of the duplicate fakes for near nothing. Report this Post to the Staff
