About the Farouk I Wedding Commemorative Gold Coin

This gold coin is an official royal commemorative gold coin issued by the state to commemorate the marriage of King Farouk I of Egypt and Queen Farida.

Although the year indicated is 1938 (AH1357), it was actually minted in 1939, making it a single-year coin issued only for this year.

There have been no subsequent regular issues of the same face value and specifications, making this gold coin extremely rare.

A gold coin symbolizing royalty and the nation

The obverse features a portrait of a young King Farouk I, while the reverse clearly displays the country name, face value, and year in Arabic.

This is not merely a commemorative item; it was an official gold coin used by the Egyptian kingdom at the time to demonstrate its national prestige, symbolizing politics, history, and royalty.

Minting and International Credibility

This gold coin was minted by the Royal Mint (London).

This demonstrates the importance the Egyptian kingdom placed on quality, weight, and international credibility.

For this reason, this gold coin is valued not only in the Middle Eastern market, but also in auction markets in Europe and North America.

As "gold with history," not as an investment product

GoldSilverJapan does not treat this gold coin as an investment aimed at short-term price appreciation.
