Farouk gold Proof "Royal Wedding" 500 Piastres AH 1357 (1938) PR66 Cameo PCGS, British Royal Mint, KM373. A highly popular issue that was struck to commemorate the royal wedding of King Farouk to Queen Farida. This inspiring emission offers shimmering mirrored fields that catch light with effortless grace. The King's portrait is struck to perfection, as one would expect from such a Proof specimen, and carries a gentle mint frost over the features that create an unmistakable cameo contrast. Only the slightest wisps of handling limit the grade from reaching even loftier heights, though not a single instance detracts from the coin's distinctive visual allure.
