Issued one year only by the British Occupation of Egypt meant to secure the Suez Canal during World War One.

Mintage of 10,000

There are only 125 graded in all grades at both NGC (100) and PCGS (25) combined.

I have sent three of these into NGC in the past and had them returned to me as not genuine. Finally I have obtained a MS-62 example certified by NGC for my kid's collection, and this one can be sold.
