The Gregorian date 1930 and the Hijri date 1349 are inscribed at the base of the design. The whole is enclosed within a beaded border consistent with the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Fuad I had himself declared King of Egypt in 1922 following Britain's unilateral declaration of Egyptian independence, a title upgrade from Sultan that carried enormous political weight. These small gold pieces were struck at a moment when the Egyptian pound was being repositioned as a sovereign currency tied to the gold standard, with the Royal Mint in London producing the dies.
The "left" designation distinguishes this from a companion issue with the head facing right — both types circulated concurrently, a deliberate choice rather than a mint error or die revision.
