Farouk gold Proof "Royal Wedding" 500 Piastres AH 1357 (1938) PR65 PCGS, London mint, KM373, Fr-110. Commemorating the royal wedding of King Farouk to Queen Farida. A wonderful Proof offering of King Farouk's coinage, featuring a simple yet effective portrait of the young numismatist, decorated in a gentle coating of frost and set atop a honeyed golden canvas. Gem in every respect, admitting few flaws even to the scrupulous eye and precluded from even highest designations by the presence of the occasional handling wisp, but nevertheless is a fine example of the type.
