Comments

Note: Inaccurate lettering, and incomplete translation. Language is not Arabic, probably Turkish in Arabic letters.
Possibly issued for the occasion of the reign of Muhammad Sa'id Pasha in 1854.

Muhammad Sa'id Pasha (Arabic: محمد سعيد باشا‎‎, Turkish: Mehmed Said Paşa, March 17, 1822 – January 17, 1863) was the Wāli of Egypt and Sudan from 1854 until 1863, officially owing fealty to the Ottoman Sultan but in practice exercising virtual independence. He was the fourth son of Muhammad Ali Pasha. Sa'id was a Francophone, educated in Paris.
