Everything about that coin is cool . . . from the upward perspective of the Sphinx on one side to the wings device on the other. I want one!
This is the only Egyptian coin I have, a non-circulating commemorative identified on Numista as: 1 Pound "Flight of Muhammad" AH 1400 / 1979 35...
Ha! I think it's just human nature to want to complete things. You can suppress it, but you can't ever entirely rid yourself of it. The one set I...
