A lot of collectors (and sellers as well) frequently count wrongly Turkey 5 and 10 paras as Egyptian ones.Main sign in Mintname, - Constantinople VS Misr (Egypt)
Interesting fact
The 5 Para coin from the Eyalet of Egypt, minted during the reign of Abdulmecid I (1845-1853), was made of copper and weighed 6.609 grams. This coin was part of a larger currency reform effort by the Ottoman Empire, which aimed to standardize coinage across its territories. The 5 Para coin was equivalent to 1/40 of a Turkish lira, and it featured an intricate design that included the Sultan's name and title, as well as the date of minting. Despite its relatively small denomination, this coin is now a sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and rarity.
