| Additional information |
Egypt was a British-occupied Ottoman province when these were struck, a jurisdictional awkwardness that produced coins naming an Ottoman sultan as issuer while British advisors effectively controlled Egyptian fiscal policy. Mehmed V was sultan in name; Cairo's finances answered to London. The KM#310 type runs across four regnal years of his reign, with the Arabic numerals indicating the year of his accession rather than a Gregorian date — a point that trips up collectors unfamiliar with Ottoman dating conventions.
