1944 Egypt 2 Piastres
Silver Two Qirsh
FAROUK
MINTED AT THE SOUTH AFRICAN MINT IN PRETORIA.
This listing is for the one coin shown & you do get the exact one shown.
Due to the staggering silver prices during WWII, many countries had to alter their silver coinage, in fact, many countries had to change all of their coinage, namely due to skyrocketing metal costs. Egypt had been using the same dimensions & alloys for silver coinage for 100+ years and the rising silver price due to the War, the silver content of the circular 2 piastres coin surpassed the face value, this leading to many cases of hoarding and smelting to gain material. The government took action, banning all resale of 2 Piaster coins and smelting for material. A new coin with a new alloy of .500 Silver (old alloy : .833) was minted with a new shape to be easily identifiable from the old 2 piastres and was minted in massive quantities to fulfill National silver (silver here means coinage not Ag) needs for many years to come.
It was inevitable that coins’ materials would eventually degrade into base metals. This would later happen in the UAR (United Arab Republic) Era with the 5 & 10 pt.
