Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Qirsh - Mehmed V 1327 (1910-1913) coin from Egypt is that it was minted during a time of great change in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of Mehmed V, who was the 35th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and the first Sultan to visit Europe.
