| Additional information |
Fuad I assumed the title of King in 1922 following Britain's unilateral declaration of Egyptian independence — a nominal sovereignty that left British advisors controlling finance, defense, and the canal zone. The milliemes coinage issued under his name was produced at the Royal Mint in London and the Heaton Mint in Birmingham throughout this series, with output split between facilities depending on year. The "left" designation distinguishes the portrait orientation from earlier issues, a modification made partway through Fuad's reign rather than at a dynastic transition.
