Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 100 Qirsh - Abdul Hamid II 1293 (1876) coin from Egypt is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of Abdul Hamid II, who was the 34th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and ruled from 1876 to 1909. 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 currency. The 100 Qirsh coin was part of this new currency system and was minted in gold, which was a significant departure from the traditional Islamic coins that were made of silver or copper. This change in currency reflected the growing influence of European economic systems and the desire to modernize Egypt's economy.
