| Beschrijving keerzijde | The entire field is occupied by a multi-line Arabic calligraphic inscription stating the mint of issue and denomination, arranged in sweeping naskh script. Two six-pointed stars flank the upper portion of the legend at left and right. The uppermost line reads 'Duriba fi' (minted in), followed by 'Misr' (Egypt) on the second line, with the denomination 'Rub' min 'Ashr al-Qirsh' (a quarter of a tenth of a Qirsh, i.e. 1/40 Qirsh) occupying the central register. The AH date 1293 and the word 'Sene' appear in the lower exergual area. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Egypt's small bronze fractions of this period were struck under Ottoman suzerainty but with British financial administration running the country in practice — a dual authority that made even routine coinage decisions politically awkward. The 1/40 qirsh denomination existed primarily to serve the rural poor and urban laborers in a country where wages were measured in fractions of a piastre. Most were struck at the Misr mint in Cairo.
The dual KM references reflect a cataloging split between Ottoman imperial coinage and Egyptian provincial issues — the same physical coin classified differently depending on which authority the cataloger privileges.
