Egypt's milliemes of this period were produced under the Revolutionary Command Council government that had deposed King Farouk in 1952, with the monarchy formally abolished the following year. The shift away from royal portraiture created an immediate need for new dies, and the Sphinx motif filled that gap as a politically neutral national symbol.
The "base not outlined" distinction from its close cousin KM#375 is a die characteristic, not a circulation variable — both types ran concurrently across the same years, making date-alone attribution unreliable without examining the sphinx base detail under magnification.
