The reverse has the denomination, the AH and the AD dates and saying "al-mamlakah al masryah" or the Egyptian Kingdom.

Mint: Egypt.
Size and Weight: This is a 1/10 of a Qirsh or one millieme, weighs ~4.3 grams and is ~23 mm in diameter.

Condition: I would grade this coin as a beautiful uncirculated or better with all the details being very well preserved and having very nice eye appeal. The coin has a few scratches, bag marks and some minor spots of light oxidation. However, these do not distract from the beauty or quality of the coin. It is much better than the scan shows.
