Description: | Modern coin: Ottoman coin. The date of the coin is probably Hijra year 1255= 1839. This would make it a coin of Sultan Abdu Mejod, who ruled from 1255-1277/ 1839-1861 - Identified by Vesta Curtis.Since recording Paul Cannon has kindly further identified the coin and comments..."This would appear to be a worn copper coin of the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Mejid. The Arabic of the obverse translates as "4/struck/in/Egypt(Cairo)/1255". From its size and weight it is no doubt a 5 para coin. It was struck in the 4th year of his reign ie AH 1259 (equivalent to AD 1843)".
