Silver coin of Ottoman Egypt featuring the characteristic calligraphic tughra of Sultan Abdul Hamid II on the obverse, in an elegant Islamic style with flowing lines, occupying the center of the field and surrounded by well-defined ornamental elements. The reverse displays the face value within a symmetrical wreath, with Arabic inscriptions and the Islamic date accompanied by the regnal year, topped by a crescent and star. The reliefs remain sharp, and the design retains a strong overall appearance, with residual luster visible in the fields. The coin was cleaned in the past, as noted by the grading service, but it remains attractive and has the complete details expected of an uncirculated example. Historically, it belongs to the final period of Ottoman rule over Egypt, when coinage continued to bear the sultan’s imperial iconography.
