AH1327(1910-1914) Egypt Silver 20 Qirsh Avg Circ

---

This silver 20 Qirsh coin represents a fascinating era of Egyptian numismatics, struck between the years 1910 and 1914 (corresponding to the Islamic year AH 1327). Though circulating in Egypt, the coin was actually manufactured at the mint in Birmingham, United Kingdom. Each piece is composed of 0.833 fine silver, containing 0.7499 troy ounces of precious metal. The obverse of the coin displays the intricate tughra, or calligraphic monogram, of Sultan Mehmed V, which is positioned gracefully above a pair of ceremonial torches. On the reverse, Arabic script is featured above the date, all framed by a traditional decorative wreath. The legible inscriptions include the name of Egypt and the Islamic date 1327. Cataloged as KM-310, these coins are preserved in average circulated condition, showing the honest wear of their historical journey through commerce.
