Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Para coin from Eyalet of Egypt is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "Abdulmecid I" in Arabic, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with the Ottoman Empire's emblem, which was a departure from the traditional Islamic coins that did not depict images of humans or animals. This blend of styles reflects the cultural influences of the time and adds to the coin's historical significance.
