Comment
The coins bear the accession date of 1277 plus the regnal year.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in Egypt. The country was under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, and the coinage was being reformed to align with the new Ottoman coinage system. This coin, featuring Abdulaziz, was minted in 1277 (1861-1863) and was part of the transition towards a more modern monetary system.
