Egypt AH1362 (1943) 10mm copper coin, PCGS MS64RB Top Pop | A highly graded coin representing the era of Farouk I | GoldSilverJapan
The AH1362 (1943) 10mm copper coin of the Kingdom of Egypt is an essential coin in the history of Egyptian currency in the mid-20th century. Issued during the reign of King Farouk I, known as the last king of Egypt, this coin is highly valued by collectors worldwide as a historical currency symbolizing the situation in the Middle East during World War II and the modern history of the Kingdom of Egypt. The coin presented here has received a high grade of MS64RB (Mint State 64 Red Brown) from PCGS and is recognized as a Top Pop (highest grade group), making it an extremely attractive collector's item. Its authenticity is guaranteed by PCGS certification number 634835.64/61450468, making it a particularly rare and collectible piece among modern Egyptian coins. GoldSilverJapan carefully selects and handles historical coins from around the world, and this coin holds an important position in modern coinage collections from North Africa and the Middle East. MS64RB's excellent condition, maintaining its beautiful reddish-brown surface color, is highly valued in the market, and it is attracting attention as an outstanding specimen that allows you to enjoy the original mint color from the Egyptian Kingdom era.
The obverse of this coin features a left-facing portrait of Farouk I. Born in 1920, Farouk I reigned as King of Egypt from 1936 to 1952. A young man who ascended to the throne, he became a symbol of the Egyptian kingdom both domestically and internationally, and his portrait was featured on many coins and banknotes issued during his reign. The portrait on this coin depicts him in a dignified pose, wearing a traditional hat rather than a crown, and is surrounded by an Arabic inscription. Coins from the Farouk era have a unique design distinct from later republican Egypt, making them highly sought after in the collector market. With the end of the monarchy in the 1952 Egyptian Revolution, these kingdom-era coins are now highly valued as historical artifacts. Farouk's portrait coins, in particular, are internationally popular and are important collectibles for enthusiasts of modern Arab coins. This coin is a valuable official issue from the kingdom era, offering a fascinating glimpse into modern Egyptian history.
The reverse side features the face value "10 milli" in Arabic and the year of issue. The millime was the Egyptian currency unit at the time, used as a subunit to divide 1 pound into 1000 millimes. The coin's distinctive wavy scallop shape is very striking, giving it a unique presence that sets it apart from round coins. This shape combines practicality with visual beauty, making it a highly popular design among Egyptian coins. The warm color characteristic of copper coins, combined with the elegant Arabic script, results in an artistic design that evokes the beauty of Middle Eastern culture. This type, classified as KM-361, is officially recorded in the World Coin Catalogue and is widely recognized as a representative circulating currency of the Egyptian Kingdom era. Even now, more than 80 years after its issuance, many collectors are searching for examples in excellent condition, and high-grade pieces remain extremely popular in the market.
The greatest appeal of this particular coin lies not only in its high PCGS MS64RB grade, but also in its designation as a Top Pop. Top Pop signifies a coin belonging to the highest grade group in PCGS's demographic statistics, a special evaluation given to coins boasting the highest level of preservation among coins of the same type. Furthermore, this coin is a highly sought-after "Rhetorical Top Pop" in the collector market, occupying a special place within the collection of modern Egyptian copper coins. The "RB" in MS64RB stands for Red Brown, indicating a state where the coin has transitioned to a beautiful brown tone while partially retaining its original reddish hue. Because copper coins are prone to color changes over time, coins that maintain their high-quality original color are highly valued. In this particular coin, the details of the portrait and lettering remain remarkably clear, allowing for a thorough examination of the mint strike and the original surface. Demand for high-grade copper coins is increasing year by year in the market, and Top Pop class Egyptian Kingdom coins, in particular, are attracting international attention. It is an attractive piece for long-term holding collections and as an important piece in modern world coinage.
