Two Egyptian coins~ 1/10 qirsh but who & date please.

4 posts
Could someone kindly identify these two coins for me please ?
I think that they are Egyptian.
 I believe they are 1/10 Qirsh and they have a diameter of 15mm and weigh approx 1.5grams each. A date and ruler would be appreciated
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Hi,

Have a look here for reading Arabic numbers and converting Islamic years.

Yes, they are both Egyptian 1/10 Qirsh.
The year is 1327 https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces21756.html

Looking on the obverse, the first coin shows a 4 and the second coin shows a 3, which makes the years of the coins 1327 (1912) and 1327 (1911), respectively

I'm not an expert in any kind of coins, but I reckon I'm good at research and will do my best to help. Feel free to tell me my identifications/valuations/gradings are wrong. It's the only way I'll learn.
1327   is  ascention year of    SULTAN  MUHAMMAD V 1327- 1332 (1909-1914) - the last  Sultan of Ottoman Empire   in whos name were struck  coins in Egypt.  The date for each coin   is Ascention (Hijra)  year +  regnal year (  number under Toughra - the surface with flower ) : for left oin  "4" and for right coin "3", - so the left coin is 1/10 Girhs   1327+4  = 1331  ( or 1913 ), and for left coin  1327+3 = 1330 ( 1912)
good luck with your collection !
