Why collectors want it

• Full Brockage error: one side exhibits a mirrored, incuse impression, a dramatic minting error.
• Issued during King Farouk I’s reign, adding historical interest.
• PCGS XF 40 Brown: mid‑grade with rich brown patina, showcasing the error clearly.

Description

This copper 10 Milliemes coin, produced between 1938 and 1943, was struck under Farouk I. It displays a Full Brockage error, meaning a previously struck coin stuck to the die, leaving one side with an incuse mirror image. Graded PCGS XF 40 BN, the piece retains the essential details and exhibits even brown surfaces. Error coins from the Farouk era are rarely encountered, making this example particularly desirable.
