Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Qirsh - Abdulaziz (Bronze Pattern) 1277 (1872) from Egypt made of Bronze is that it features a unique design that was never adopted for regular circulation. The coin was minted during the reign of Khedive Ismail Pasha, who was known for his ambitious projects and modernization efforts in Egypt. The coin's design features a bust of Abdulaziz, the Ottoman Sultan at the time, surrounded by intricate patterns and calligraphy. Despite its rarity and historical significance, the coin's value is relatively affordable for collectors, making it an attractive addition to any numismatic collection.
