I received coins from a friend in Egypt today--Thanks Amr! 
They came in really cool packaging
Inside were 3 great coins--a King Farouk 2 Piastres from 1944, plus a 50 Piastre and 1 Pound coins from 2007.
I'll post more photos later.

Ah, ancient Egypt themed coins are always nice. Nice stamps and postcards too. (If those two are postcards )

Why do they name it one pound.....inspired off the British ?

Apollo, that would be my guess too--the British occupied Egypt for a while and the pound was a stable currency.  |

Those two are great looking coins but no holding back. Lets see a closeup of the third coin you received.

It takes time to take pictures the coin deserves. Here is the 2007 50 Piastres--isn't it great!  |

 Great details and those details are precise! King Tut's death mask on the coin is almost exactly true to the original.
