This is a 100 Qirsh gold coin issued in AD 1852 by the Eyalet of Egypt under the rule of the Ottoman Empire.

The obverse of the coin features the personal tughra of Sultan Abdülmecid I of the Ottoman Empire. To the right of the tughra is a decorative motif of rose branches, while the denomination “١٠٠ ش” (100 Qirsh) is inscribed along the lower edge.

The upper edge of the reverse side bears the numeral “١٥” (15), indicating that this coin was struck in the fifteenth year of the reign, corresponding to AD 1852. At the centre is the Arabic inscription “ضرب في مصر,” meaning “Struck in Egypt.” Along the lower edge is the Hijri year “١٢٥٥” (1255), marking the initial year of issue for this type of gold coin, which corresponds to AD 1839.

Egypt was one of the wealthiest provinces under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. However, beginning in AD 1805, the Albanian-born military strongman Muhammad Ali Pasha seized de facto control of Egypt, eventually engaging in multiple conflicts with the Ottoman central authority. These confrontations culminated in the Empire’s formal recognition of his family’s hereditary rule over Egypt. At the time this coin was issued in AD 1852, Egypt was effectively governed by Muhammad Ali’s grandson, Abbas I, though nominal allegiance was still paid to the reigning Ottoman sultan, Abdülmecid I.

這是一枚公元1852年，鄂圖曼土耳其帝國統治下的埃及省發行之面額100庫魯什的金幣。

錢幣正面是時任鄂圖曼土耳其帝國蘇丹的阿卜杜勒-邁吉德一世個人專屬花押，花押右側以玫瑰枝條作為裝飾，下緣則是打印面額「١٠٠ ش」(100庫魯什)。

錢幣背面的上緣標示數字「١٥」(15)，代表這枚錢幣量產於公元1852年，中間的阿拉伯銘文「ضرب في مصر」意思是「鑄造於埃及」，錢幣的下緣則是打印該款示金幣首度發行的回曆年份「١٢٥٥」(1255)，相當於公元1839年。

埃及省是鄂圖曼土耳其帝國統治下最為富饒的省份之一。然而自公元1805年起，阿爾巴尼亞裔軍事強人穆罕默德·阿里帕夏開始獨攬埃及大權，甚至多次和鄂圖曼中央展開交戰，最終迫使鄂圖曼土耳其帝國承認其後代得以在埃及展開世襲統治。這枚錢幣發行的公元1852年，埃及實際由阿里的孫子阿拔斯一世統治，但仍奉當時的鄂圖曼土耳其帝國蘇丹阿卜杜勒-邁吉德一世為名義上的統治者。
