| Aanvullende informatie |
Hussein Kamel was installed as Sultan of Egypt by the British in December 1914, days after they declared a protectorate and severed Egypt's last formal ties to the Ottoman Empire. The sultanate itself was a constitutional fiction — a way to sidestep the awkwardness of a nominally Ottoman territory fighting on the Allied side. These coins, issued in his name, were among the first to drop Ottoman imperial imagery from Egyptian coinage entirely.
Hussein Kamel died in office in October 1917, having reigned less than three years.
