Egyptian Coins
Just had some guests who try and collect coins where ever they go on holiday so we did our best to get them one of every sort. Thought I would share with you
From left to right
1 LE (100 pt = 1LE). These and the 50pt are the ones tourist are most likely to come across. It is silver and gold with Tutankamun on it. You can get them at a bank easily but less easily at shops and exchange bureaus
large 50pt and small 50pt exactly the same design but the newer one is slightly smaller, gold with Nefertari, I think this would make a lovely pendant
25pt with the hole in the middle
20pt I had never seen one of these until today
large silver 10pt again I had never seen one till today
small gold 10pt these I have seen, lovely picture of the citadel
gold 5pt with what looks like a vase on it
