Step back into Egypt’s royal past with this two-coin collector’s set from the Kingdom of Egypt (1922 – 1952) — each piece a genuine artifact of 20th-century Egyptian history.

1️⃣ Egypt 5 Milliemes 1924 (KM#333)

Minted at the Royal Mint, London under King Fuad I, this copper-nickel coin (21 mm, 3.9 g, smooth edge) had a limited mintage of 6,000,000. A true early-kingdom issue with Arabic and English legends, prized for its historical depth and British craftsmanship.

2️⃣ Egypt 2 Piastres 1944 (KM#369)

Struck in .500 silver at the Pretoria Mint, South Africa, during King Farouk I’s reign. Although your example shows light wear obscuring the date, type characteristics clearly identify it as the 1944 issue (21 mm, 2.8 g, six-sided, smooth edge). Only 32,000,000 minted—and far fewer survive in collectible quality.

Together, these coins embody Egypt’s royal transition from Fuad I to Farouk I, each piece bridging British influence, local artistry, and Middle Eastern heritage.

Welcome to Treasure Trades — your source for rare commemorative and circulation coins where every piece tells a story worth preserving.

Act now — these genuine 1920s and 1940s Kingdom of Egypt coins are vanishing fast! Secure this Fuad I & Farouk I set today and own a tangible piece of Egypt’s royal heritage before collectors snatch them up.

Why This Set Is a Smart Buy

  • Two rulers, two eras: The set bridges Egypt’s early- and mid-20th-century monarchy—Fuad I (1922–1936) and Farouk I (1936–1952).

  • Scarce London mintage: Only 6 million of the 1924 5 Milliemes were struck at the Royal Mint—making it one of the lower-mintage base-metal coins of its period.

  • Silver value + collectibility: The 1944 2 Piastres contains 0.500 fine silver (approx. USD 2.20 melt value alone) and offers long-term numismatic growth potential.

  • Global mint quality: Produced in both London and Pretoria — two prestigious facilities known for precise striking and durable metal quality.

  • Condition-based appreciation: High-grade, problem-free examples are rising in demand among Egyptian and Commonwealth collectors.

  • Historical context: Both issues represent the interwar and WWII periods — a time of immense political and cultural change in the region.

➡ In short: This dual-coin set combines royal history, scarcity, and silver content — a balanced collector investment with strong future appeal.
