Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Qirsh coin from Egypt, featuring Abdul Hamid II, is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in the country. The coin was issued in 1293 (1876-1907) during the reign of Abdul Hamid II, who was the 34th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and the last to hold the title of Caliph. This period saw the introduction of new economic and political reforms, including the establishment of a new currency system, which replaced the traditional Islamic coinage with a modern, Western-style system. The 10 Qirsh coin, made of silver (.833) and weighing 14g, was part of this new system and was widely used throughout Egypt during this time.
