Details
Description:
A great looking extremely fine silver coin from Egypt. This is a ten para from the reign of the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Majid. The coin shows the sultan's tughra, a rose to the right of the tughra and the denomination below it. The reverse says Duribah Fi Misr (Struck in Egypt) then the number 19 above the "Beh" in "Duribah" for the 19th year of the sultan's rule and Abdul Majid's accession year of 1255 AH in the bottom. It is KM-225 measuring approximately 15 mm in diameter and weighing ~0.37 grams of 0.833 silver. The coin has a beaded rim and a thin planchet. Coins of such small denomination, small size, and made of precious metal are usually hard to come by in such a nice grade. They normally were used extensively by the people, were lost, severely abused, or melted for the metal. Please carefully view scan as it is part and parcel of our description.
