Comment
The coins bear the accession date of 1277 plus the regnal year.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Qirsh - Abdulaziz 1277 (1861) coin from Egypt is that it was minted during a time of great change and modernization in Egypt. The coin was issued during the reign of Khedive Abdulaziz, who ruled Egypt from 1863 to 1879, a period of significant political, economic, and social reform in the country. The coin's design, which features an Arabic inscription and a portrait of the Khedive, reflects the blending of traditional Islamic motifs with European influences, which was a hallmark of Egypt's modernization efforts during this time.
