| Beschrijving keerzijde | The large Arabic numeral '٥' (5) dominates the central field, with the denomination word 'مليمات' (Milliemes) inscribed immediately below. The legend 'المملكة المصرية' (Egyptian Kingdom) is distributed in two parts along the upper and lower periphery of the scalloped flan, following its curved outline. The dual dating system is employed, with the Christian Era year flanking one side and the Hijri year on the other, both positioned vertically in the lateral fields to either side of the central denomination. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Farouk ascended the Egyptian throne in 1936 at age sixteen, and this issue spans the most turbulent stretch of his early reign — a period when Egypt nominally maintained sovereignty while British troops occupied the country under the 1936 Anglo-Egyptian Treaty. The 1943 date is particularly notable: North Africa was actively contested, and British military authorities exercised considerable influence over Egyptian economic policy, including pressure on the mint to maintain coinage supply for a wartime economy straining under occupation logistics.
The Royal Mint in London struck portions of this series when Cairo's output was insufficient — a detail the KM reference obscures.
