Egypt - 20 Piasters 1916 - AU - Silver 835, 28g, 37mm
Mintage: Approximately 1,500,000 coins
General Description:
The 20 Piasters 1916 coin from Egypt, minted during the reign of King Fuad I, is an important piece in Egyptian numismatics and a valuable item for collectors of World War I and British colonial coinage. Graded AU (About Uncirculated), this coin shows minimal wear and retains most of its original details. Struck in Silver 835, weighing 28g and measuring 37mm in diameter, the 20 Piasters was part of the Egyptian pound system. This coin was issued in the period when Egypt was under British influence, and it has become an important item for collectors due to its historical significance and relatively high mintage of 1,500,000 coins.
Front:
The obverse features a portrait of King Fuad I, with the inscription "FUAD I KING OF EGYPT" around his bust, in a regal crown. His profile faces to the right.
Back:
The reverse shows the denomination "20 PIASTRES" in Arabic and English, with the year "1916" beneath the central design, featuring a crowned emblem representing Egypt.
