◆ Gold coins that shine in world history — The crossroads between the glory of the Ottoman Empire and Egypt
This 100 culash gold coin is an extremely valuable gold coin issued in Egypt, which was a province of the Ottoman Empire, during the reign of the 31st Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Abdülmecid I (reigned 1839-1861). The year of issue is inscribed as "AH1255//4" (around 1843 AD) in the Islamic calendar, meaning it was minted in the fourth year of Abdülmecid's reign.
This gold coin has value beyond mere currency. It is a "crystallization of history" that symbolizes the economic power of the Ottoman Empire, the largest empire in the Islamic world, the geopolitical importance of Egypt, which was under its rule, and the historical background at the intersection of religion and politics.

◆ The rarity and peace of mind of the NGC-certified "XF45"
This coin has been certified as "XF45 (Extra Fine)" by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company), the world's most trusted third-party grading agency. This grade indicates that the coin is in excellent condition for a gold coin, with exceptionally clear details.
Especially for antique coins with high face values such as 100 culashes, grades above XF are extremely rare due to the significant wear caused by circulation.
⸻
◆ The beauty of "Tughra" that tells the story of history
The surface is engraved with Sultan Abdülmecid's beautiful calligraphic signature, known as a "Tughra." The Tughra is a symbol of the Sultan's authority and rule, and is a culmination of Ottoman culture, highly valued for its exquisite artwork.
⸻
◆ The cultural value of Egyptian gold coins
Among gold coins from the Ottoman Empire, those minted in Misr (Egypt) are particularly rare. This is because Egypt was under the strong autonomous rule of the Muhammad Ali dynasty at the time and had its own economic and military policies, so they have different characteristics and history from gold coins minted in the central empire.
The coin is engraved with the word "مصر" (Misr), indicating that it was minted in Cairo. It is truly a "monumental coin" that embodies the historical crossroads between the center of the empire and provincial Egypt.
⸻
◆ Asset value that gold coin investors and collectors must see
In addition to their value as "physical assets" backed by the current gold price, Ottoman gold coins are also becoming increasingly valued in the antique coin market. Graded gold coins bearing the years of the Sultan's reign are particularly rare, and are often sold for high prices at overseas auctions.
The grade of "XF45" and the reassurance of official NGC certification make it an ideal condition for individual investors.
