Need help with a coin.

[Matejko]

Hi everybody !!

Friend of mine found an Egyptian (probably) coin.
Does anybody can identify it exactly ?
I don't have it in catalogue, it's also hard to find in net.
Does anybody know, what is it?
Coin is made of silver.

Pozdrawiam Matejko

Your friend's coin looks like a 20 kurush piece from Turkey.

I believe that it is from reign year 9 after the accession date of AH 1255.

If so, that would be about year 1847 according to our own calendar.

Compare to this one:

I was one minute and a Kurish short from you.

Nice work! As always.

I have added you to my list of who I would like to have dinner with. Jesus, Hiltler, Nostradamus, Da Vinci, Einstein and PBK and two girls Joan of Arc and Gypsyheart.

Hey, Tony... thanks, but I don't think I'm ready for prime time! I'd love to be there somewhere in the shadows, though, taking plenty of notes!

Thanks a lot, PBK !!!

If I knew it's Turkish, I'd find it in catalogue.
Now, I found it.

Thanks again !
