Interesting fact
The 5 Qirsh - Ali Dinar 1328 (1910) coin from Darfur (Sudan) made of Nickel silver weighing 5.2 g is interesting because it is a rare example of a coin that was issued during the brief period of Egyptian rule over Sudan, specifically during the reign of Khedive Abbas Hilmi II. The coin features the standard design of the Egyptian pound coin, with the effigy of the Khedive on one side and the value and date on the other, but it was minted in a smaller denomination specifically for use in Sudan. This coin is a unique piece of history that highlights the complex political and economic relationships between Egypt and Sudan during the early 20th century.
