The coin shown is a 1/40 qirsh, composition copper, from the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid II. It was struck at the Heaton Mint, noted by the H mintmark at the base obverse. The obverse bears the toughra, or signature, of the sultan, with the year of issue written below (as in year during the reign of the sultan, in this case year 33). A flower design is to the right of the toughra. The reverse carries the text 'minted in Misr'. Below this is the denomination 1/40 qirsh in written form, ''rub' 'ushr qirsh''. Below this is the ascension year of Sultan Abdul Hamid II, AH 1293. The date of the coin translates to 1908 AD. Uslu<sup>[1]</sup> lists this issue as common.

This denomination represents a member of a coinage reform started in 1884 AD. Previous to that date, with a value less than one qirsh were given in the unit 'para'. All fractional qirshes after 1884 were given values directly proportional to 1 qirsh, eg. 1/40 qirsh, 1/20 qirsh, 1/10 qirsh, etc. This suite of denominations was continued until the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, and subsequent loss of influence in [[Egypt]], in 1914 AD.
