    Oh i like this. I have one in circ . i constantly look at islamic crown size coins on ebay.
    Even in badly worn condition there are very few bargains to be found

    I know very little about these... I have concerns that the surviving MS population is simply not well defined... and it may never be well defined. So I saw this one... bought it... no regrets

    1327/6 with a small H, a Heaton Mint example. It looks somewhat weakly struck on the reverse with the slightest wear on some obverse high points, otherwise a nice unc early 20th Ottoman Egypt crown.

    PS: sorry I missed the title and I was all happy to read the date and nominal value :p

    And it is struck in Misr, not Birmingham. But the dies are from Heaton. A tough date of the series.

    Great to see other collectors' admiration of some of the world's finest in artistic coin designs

    Here's the finest graded to date, in my registry set:
    https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/africa/egypt/egypt-muhammad-v-denomination-type-set-circulation-strikes-1909-1914/publishedset/162426

    This type is typically weakly struck in contrast to earlier rulers, e.g. struck for Abdul Hamid II
