I am not an expert about coins and I would like to know more about this coin on my images. Egypt 50 Piastres gold coins, King Faroq, 1942-1361, is that correct? Can someone help me what is the value? Iam not really sure about is it gold or not, how can I make sure? The coin size is 20 mm. I will got more egypt piastres gold coins with different year on, I will post them separately and I would like to get more info about those too. All info greatly appreciated, thanks for any help!   |

As tdziemia as said in your other posts, someone has doctored a similar looking and sized coin to give the appearance that it is a 50 Piastres gold coin. If you have a browse here you will see the difference https://en.numista.com/catalogue/egypte-7.html |

Thanks very much your answer. Are these coins still have a value to sell, perhaps on ebay? |

... also meant to ask previously, are the photos above the obverse and reverse of the same coin?

The first image is that of King Farouk (1936-1952). The second image is from a silver 2 paistres of a previous monarch, obviously gold plated since it is supposed to be silver. The reverse of an actual gold 50 piastres dated 1923 looks only superficially similar.

Quote:Are these coins still have a value to sell, perhaps on ebay? You can go on ebay and search on "Egypt 2 Piastres." You will see a lot of circulated examples of the Farouk and Fuad coins, and the price they have sold for. IF you decide to sell them, you must list them as 2 Piastre coins, and you should disclose in the listing that they have been treated to look like gold, so that there is no chance of deceiving anyone. There is usually someone willing to buy just about anything on ebay. In this case, I can imagine someone making jewelry could have an interest. Edited by tdziemia

If you look closely at those references, you will be able to convince yourself. In case this helps: Here is the reverse of a real 50 Piastre coin of Fuad, where I have circled the denomination "50" in red. https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...duid-1241664. THis type was only minted in 1923. You will see that the reverse or your Fuad coin has a circle (the real one does not), and does not have the 50.  Here is the reverse of a real 50 Piastre coin of Farouk. https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...duid-1241717 This coin was only minted in 1938. Again, I have circled the denomination 50 in red. The reverse of your Farouk coins are different, and some have dates when the coin was never minted.  If you don't believe the opinons here, you can take these to a jeweler and sell them for the gold content. They will tell you the same thing. |

I think you need to first determine how many (if any) are truly gold and then get back to us.
