Interesting fact
The 10 Qirsh/Piastres coin from Egypt, featuring Hussein Kamel, was minted during a time of great change in the country. The coin was issued in 1916-1917, during the reign of Sultan Hussein Kamel, who ruled Egypt from 1914 to 1917. This was a period of significant political and social upheaval, as Egypt was fighting for independence from British colonial rule. The coin's design, featuring a portrait of the sultan, was a departure from the traditional Islamic coinage designs that had been used in Egypt for centuries. This change in design was a reflection of the country's desire to modernize and assert its independence. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a valuable and interesting piece of Egyptian history.
