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.
This specimen was part of lot 72108 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice Online Auction (Santa Ana, CA, May 2017), which sold for $822.50. The catalog description[1] noted, "EGYPT. 1, 2 1/2, 5, & 10 Mils, 1933-H. KM-344, 356, 346, & 347. 4 pieces in set. All are PCGS certified and in Secure Holders. The Millieme is SP-65 RD, the 2 1/2 Millieme is SP-63, the 5 Millieme is SP-67 and the 10 Millieme is SP-64." The coin pictured is a copper-nickel ten milliemes. The portrait of Fuad I is on the obverse. The reverse bears the date (both Hijra and Gregorian dates shown), denomination and 'Kingdom of Egypt' written in Arabic. The date is 1933 AD - AH 1352. It is the scarcest of the three dates, 1929, 1933 and 1935. The mintmark for the Heaton Mint, England (H) appears at right reverse.
Recorded mintage: 1,500,000.
Specification: 5.22 g, copper-nickel.
Catalog reference: KM 347.
