<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1105084, member: 5739&quot;]I have 5 of these hexagonal 2 Piastre coins myself, but one has most of the reverse worn completely off, still decent portrait, the others are slightly better, and the ones I posted are my nicest and favorite. The only other decent Egyptian silver coin I have is a 1335AH/1917 10 Piastres, that was a gift from a man I took care of who had been a professor of the Classics at Princeton. He was born in 1910, and possibly got the 1917 coin in Egypt while he was there in the 1930s. He also gave me a very special Iraq 1932 silver 200 fils (one Riyal) of King Faisal I, it is one of my favorite modern coins of the middle east, and very dear to me, and that one he did get in Iraq as change in the 1930s.</p><p>As for the hexagonal Egyptian 1944 silver 2 Piastres I suspected it may be a typo error as well in Krause, 32,000 seems a bit low... but who knows, maybe someone can clear that up....</p><p><br /></p><p>Nice coin fretboard. I like his military style bust like these.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
