5 Para Countermarked ΒΙΘ on Egypt KM-223

Descrizione del dritto	Host coin is an Egyptian copper issue (KM-223), struck under Ottoman suzerainty, showing heavily worn Arabic legends in the lower portion of the field. The coin exhibits significant surface patination with green corrosion deposits throughout the field. Two test cuts are visible crossing the flan, consistent with period practice for verifying metal composition. The original design elements, including the tughra or royal cypher, are largely obscured by wear and environmental damage.

Descrizione del rovescio	A rectangular incuse countermark prominently applied to the reverse field bears the Greek letters ΒΙΘ (Beta-Iota-Theta) in bold, deeply impressed characters within a recessed punch. The countermark is clearly legible despite the overall worn state of the host coin. Two test cuts cross the flan diagonally, consistent with those observed on the obverse. The original reverse design of the Egyptian host coin is entirely obscured beneath the countermark and accumulated patination.
