Purchased the Fuad a while back from our forum friend Zompels who was gracious provide the coin images. The King Farouk piece is in transit (seller's pic) - yes the same king depicted on syracusian's icon as the prototype for a coin addict with his extensive coin collection (among other collectables) which were notably liquidated - LINK. These early 20th century crowns have become very difficult to find in UNC. Will try to complete the set over time for the type as I find these very historical and attractive modern designs.

1923 (AH1341). King Ahmed Fuad I (1922-1936/AH1341-1355 AH). AR 20 Piastres. KM-338. DAV-21. NGC MS-63.

    I like them.

    Agree those early 20th crowns tough to find high grade!
    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.
    I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    I normally go for the flashy proof or PL strikes, but that Fuad on top is my favorite of the two. Looks a little satiny. I like.
