King Farouk was the second ruler of the Kingdom of Egypt, coming to the throne in 1936. The coinage of his reign was similar to his father, King Fuad I. He was, among other things, an avid coin collector and pieces from his collection still circulate in the market today. He abdicated after widespread discontent in 1952, at which point Egypt became a republic and officially terminated rule by royal lineage.
This coin is a copper-nickel one millieme, holed. The obverse has the text 'Kingdom of Egypt' in Arabic and the date (1938 AD - AH 1357), and the reverse has the denomination.
Recorded mintage: 3,500,000.
Specification: 3.96 g, copper-nickel.
Catalog reference: KM 362.
