Comment
Borders of crescents and starsInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the Mahdist State, a short-lived Islamic state that was established in Sudan in the late 19th century. The Mahdist State was known for its unique coinage, which featured Islamic symbols and inscriptions, and this 5 Qirsh coin is an example of that. The coin's design, which includes crescents and stars, reflects the Islamic influence on the state's currency.
