| Aanvullende informatie |
Fuad I had been Sultan of Egypt since 1917, but the 1923 coinage reflects his elevation to King following the declaration of the Kingdom of Egypt in March 1922 — itself a product of Britain's Unilateral Declaration of Egyptian independence, issued largely to manage nationalist pressure rather than concede genuine sovereignty. This gold issue was part of a complete recoinage establishing the new royal monetary identity.
The .875 fineness follows Ottoman gold standards that Egypt had maintained through the Khedival period, a technical conservatism that eased acceptance in regional trade circuits still familiar with earlier Turkish issues.
