elf Egypt Br Occup 10 Qirsh AH 1327 Yr 6H AD 1914 H World War I

Description

KM 309, four year type, issued for Egypt as part of the Ottoman Empire, but occupied by British forces, in the year that World War I began. Half dollar size silver coin, with a tughra on the obverse.
Although officially part of the Ottoman Empire, Egypt began falling under British control with the building of the Suez Canal, and British troops occupied Egypt from 1882 to 1922. At the start of World War I (1914), the British made Egypt a protectorate, to deny use of the Suez Canal by the Central Powers (the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) was one of the Central Powers, along with Germany and Austria-Hungary.)
