I am almost through every coin I have.  :)

This last one was in a coin holder marked " 20 piastres, Egypt".

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Kind Regards,        Peter

Your coin is dirty EXACTLY in the place that writes the denomination. It's either a 10 or 20 .

Thanks for that folks.

It is Mehmed V - 1327 AH 10 Qirush issued in 1913 for Egypt.
