Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Qirsh - Fuad (right) 1341 (1923) coin from Egypt is that it was made of silver (.833) and weighed 7.0 g, which was a significant change from the previous coinage system in Egypt, which used a copper-based currency. This change to silver coinage was a result of the country's transition from a rural, agricultural economy to a more modern, industrialized economy, and it reflected the growing influence of European economic systems in Egypt at the time.
