Why collectors want it

• Short‑lived Sultan Fuad era (before he became King), associated with lower mintages than later royal issues.
• Heaton mintmark (H) adds attribution interest and scarcity.
• NGC MS 64: attractive mint state with original luster and sharp strike.

Description

This 5 Piastres silver coin, dated AH 1338 / AD 1920 H, was struck under Fuad’s brief tenure as Sultan. The Heaton (H) mintmark indicates the Birmingham mint. With bright cartwheel luster and strong details, this piece earned a NGC MS 64 grade. Its Sultan‑era origin and mintmark variety enhance collectibility.
