EGYPT: Hussein Kamil, 1914-1917, AR 10 qirsh, 1917/AH1335, KM-319, with designer's initials HR on the knot of the obverse bow, struck at the British Royal Mint, London, very rare original proof striking, NGC graded Proof 63, RRR. This is the only London mint proof Occupation 10 qirsh (piastres) seen in any grade by PCGS and NGC, is almost certainly a Royal Mint Proof of Record. No other examples whatsoever have appeared in searchable commercial channels in recent times, and thus it is at least extremely rare, possibly unique, and this may be the only chance to purchase such a coin for a long time. It is far rarer than the 1937 Farouk silver proof issues, and remains considerably scarcer the the rare 1923 and very rare 1933 Fuad London proofs, which, though they do turn up from time to time, nonetheless currently command very strong prices.

Estimate: 5,000-7,000 USD
