Silver 5 Qirsh coin from the Ottoman period in Egypt, with an obverse featuring an elegant calligraphic composition where the value is integrated into a classical-style vegetal frame. The reverse presents the imperial tughra, complex and stylized, characteristic of Ottoman art, accompanied by military and decorative elements such as crossed cannons and garlands. The specimen shows a high level of preservation, with light wear at the highest points and fields that retain part of the original sheen, along with a homogeneous gray patina. This piece reflects Ottoman sovereignty over Egypt in the early 20th century, at the final stage of imperial rule before the major political changes in the region.
