Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Qirsh - Fuad (left) 1348-1352 (1929-1933) coin from Egypt is that it was made of silver (.833) and weighed 7 grams. This is notable because it was a significant departure from the standard copper or nickel coins that were commonly used in Egypt at the time. The use of silver in the coin's minting process was a deliberate choice made by the Egyptian government to commemorate the reign of King Fuad II, who ruled Egypt from 1917 to 1928. The coin's unique composition and weight make it a valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
