Description:
Interesting Ottoman Egypt Overstrike - Silver Para
This silver Para from the Misr mint is a classic example of 18th-century provincial minting techniques. The coin shows a clear overstrike, with the Ottoman Sultanic legends hammered over a host coin. Remnants of the original design are visible beneath the Tughra, creating a fascinating "double-layered" effect.
A great piece for collectors of Ottoman numismatics or mint errors.
