When was made the bracelet?

Hello, dear Sirs.

If I don’t make mistakes, my bracelet bears the Turkish and Greek marks.
Tell me please which of them are earliest. When was made this bracelet?
And help me to read the Arabic numeral on Greek mark.
Thank you.

Hello,

This seems to have two distinct markings, those related to Turkey, specifically the Othman period, perhaps late 19th century as there's a smeared , more erased Tughra markings and Arabic writing. The newer markings are the Egyptian stamps. So this piece may have originally been produced in Turkey and reclaimed by Egypt.
