Watch List notes:

Egypt. Ottoman. Murad V (AH 1293/1876 AD). 100 'Irsh, Misr, accession AH 1293, year 1. Murad toughra with floral ornament, value below, rev. Year, mint and date. Fr.16, KM 272. Very rare. Murad V ruled a brief 93 days before he was deposed because he was said to be mentally ill. It is possible though that his opponents used this as an excuse to prevent him from implementing democratic reforms. Trivial obverse lamination upper left, tiny rim nick upper reverse. Decent amount of original lustre. Extremely Fine.

Estimate: $1,500.00 - $2,000.00
