Why collectors want it

• Struck during the extremely brief reign of Sultan Murad V (reigned 93 days), making his coins inherently scarce.
• PCGS MS 63 grade with Top Pop designation—the finest example recorded.
• Small silver denomination (1 Qirsh) from 19th‑century Ottoman Egypt.

Description

Graded PCGS MS 63, it stands as a Top Pop specimen. Its combination of historical rarity and high grade makes it a standout piece for any Ottoman Egypt collection.
