Why collectors want it

• Full Brockage error: the coin was struck with a previously struck piece instead of a die, creating a mirrored, incuse design; highly dramatic error.
• Issued under King Farouk I, an era with strong numismatic interest.
• PCGS AU Details: attractive circulated grade with error severity intact.

Such errors are rare and fascinate both error specialists and those focused on Farouk‑era coinage.
