Comment
Possibly a contemporary counterfeit. Research is ongoingInteresting fact
The 10 Qirsh coin from the Mahdist State (Sudan) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great turmoil and political change in Sudan. The Mahdist State was established in 1881 by Muhammad Ahmad, who claimed to be the Mahdi, or the redeemer of Islam, and the coin was minted during his reign. The coin's design features Arabic script and imagery that reflects the Islamic heritage of the region. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Sudan.
