The Kingdom of [[Egypt]] was established in 1922, with Fuad I as the first ruler. He had previously been sultan (1917-1922) when Egypt was a British protectorate. During his reign, Egyptian coinage was changed significantly from previous issues, with the portrait of the leader decorating the obverse. Previously, no human portraits appeared on coins.

The coin pictured is a bronze half millieme. The portrait of Fuad I is on the obverse, with the year reverse (both Hijra and Gregorian dates shown), denomination, and 'Kingdom of Egypt' written in Arabic. Date is 1932 AD - AH 1351. Mintmark for the Heaton Mint, England (H) appears at top reverse.

''Recorded mintage'': 1,000,000.
