Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Qirsh - Fuad (left) 1348 (1929) coin from Egypt is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of Sultan Fuad II, while the reverse side features an image of a crescent moon and a five-pointed star, which are common symbols of Islam. However, the coin's design also incorporates elements of European heraldry, such as the use of a shield and crown, reflecting Egypt's historical ties to European colonial powers. This blending of styles makes the coin a fascinating example of cultural fusion in numismatics.
