Egypt under Abbas I struck this issue in the name of the Ottoman sultan Abdulmecid I, as required by the suzerainty relationship that technically placed Egypt beneath Constantinople's authority — even as Abbas ruled the province with near-total autonomy. The coins were produced at the Misr (Cairo) mint, which had been modernized by Muhammad Ali in the 1830s using machinery sourced from Europe.
