This specimen was lot 3543 in Goldberg sale 62 (Beverly Hills, February 2010), where it sold for $218.50. The catalog description[1] noted, "Egypt. 20 Piastres, 1923. Faud I, 1917-1936. Civilian bust to right. Reverse: Legend. PCGS graded MS-64." This one-year type has traditionally been dismissed as a bullion coin but deserves a better fate.
