Title
Ottoman Coin from Winterton
Description
English: Silver

Coin. Milled Ten Egyptian Qirsh, issued under the Ottoman Turkish rule of Sultan Mohammed V (1909-1918).


Obverse description: Flower at right of toughra, floral swags and quivers below, seven stars above.

Reverse description: Floral swag, accession date below the Arabic word Misr (Egypt), Duriba fi above, three stars over.

Paul Cannon kindly corrects an initially erroneous identification by MF, commenting as follows:

'Below the Arabic word for Egypt is the AH date 1327. This is the accession year of the Ottoman Sultan Mohammed V (not Abdul Hamid II). Mohammed V was Ottoman Sultan from AH 1327 - 1336 [equivalent to AD 1909 - 1918]. At the top of the reverse (below the three stars) is the Arabic numeral for '6' i.e. the 6th regnal year, hence- AH 1333. In this year Egypt passed from being an Ottoman 'province' to being a British Protectorate. The latest coins of Mohammed V struck in Egypt have the regnal year '6' and correspond to AD 1914. Note AH dates and AD dates do not coincide exactly.

To summarise, this is a silver 10 qirsh coin struck in Egypt in the name of the Ottoman Sultan Mohammed V in the 6th year of his reign in AD 1914'.
