<p>[QUOTE=&quot;acanthite, post: 220693, member: 6647&quot;]A friend of mine who does not know coins was in Cairo last week,&nbsp; Despite not knowing much of what to look for but having a good eye for antiquities, I tasked them with finding me some early silver coins, pre UAR.&nbsp; This was one of their purchases, an 1916 20 piaster (qirsh) minted during the British occupation.&nbsp; The first time the Gregorian date was added (and in &#039;western&#039; numbers) to Egyptian coinage.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>28 grams, 0.833 silver[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
