Why this matters

• Uniface Trial Strike: struck on one side only (the other side left blank) as a mint test—unavailable to the public and seldom encountered.

• Transitional era (1914–1917) under Sultan Hussein Kamel, a short reign that adds historical desirability.

• NGC certified (UNC Details, Cert. 2937913-002) for peace of mind and long-term liquidity.

Description
Experimental uniface trial for Egypt’s 10 Milliemes dated AH 1335 / 1917, in copper-nickel. The obverse shows sharp design impression consistent with trial preparation; reverse intentionally blank (typical of uniface tests). Surfaces display mint “as-made” character, with NGC assigning UNC Details—ideal for specialist cabinets focusing on patterns, trials, and mint technology in the late Ottoman/Protectorate period.
