Description:  A great looking very fine nicely toned silver coin from Egypt. This is a twenty qirsh coin from the reign of Muhammad V the Ottoman Sultan. The coin shows the sultan's tughra, a rose to the right and above the tughra and the denomination below it all surrounded by a floral design. The reverse says Duribah Fi Misr (struck in Egypt) with the number 3 for the 3rd year of Muhammad V's reign over the letter "Beh" on top and three stars above it all. There is also Muhammad V accession year of 1327 AH below it  below it, all surrounded by a floral and foliate design along the edge.

Mint: Egypt, actually these were struck in Birmingham England as evidenced by the "H" in the bottom of the obverse.

Size and Weight: This is a 20 Qirsh and is ~39.5 mm in diameter and weighs ~28 grams.

References: It is KM #310.

Condition: I would grade this coin as a good very fine or better with all the details being well preserved. The coin is nicely toned and has wear commensurate with its age and circulated state. It has scratches and minor dings to the rim. In addition, it has losses of details in the floral designs both on the obverse and reverse.  The coin has great eye appeal. It is much better than the scan shows. Please see photo for condition information.
