Wybita przez Mahdiego, będąca kopią egipskiej monety 100 Qirsh (KM#235.1) za panowania osmańskiego sułtana Abdulmecida I. Ta emisja jest bardziej surowa niż typ egipski i ma prymitywne frezowanie krawędzi. Ma również mniejszą wagę. Odwrotna arabska legenda "Struck in Misr AH1255 Year 2" (Egipt); jednak zostały one wybite w Sudanie około AH1302 (1885).

Rok AH1255/5 tej samej monety nie jest wymieniony w Krause dla tego typu, ale został znaleziony w British Museum:
