Description:
This 1938 (AH 1357) 2 Milliemes coin is a classic piece of Egyptian numismatic history from the reign of King Farouk I. Minted in the early years of his rule, the coin reflects the intricate Arabic calligraphy and royal portraiture of the period. This uncertified, circulated coin is an excellent addition for collectors of Middle Eastern or military-era coinage.
