Today's random silver coin show off is an Egyptian 2 Qirsh from 1937. A rather small coin, just 2.8 g of 0.833 silver, or 2.33 g of silver.
With today's spot price that's about 1.7 USD, not bad for such a small thingie.
On the front side we have King Farouk, the last king of Egypt and Sudan, wearing some silly hat...
On the other, some weird letters which apparently translate to:
Qirsh
Egyptian Kingdom
1937 - 1356
In other news, look at these silver beauties I ordered today! Dang, the gramps on the bottom has such an ugly nose!
I paid a bit more than what I wanted (15 euro total) but oh well... It is what is!

I thought i was fairly well versed in the coins of the world. Not an expert, but pretty knowledgeable.
Well. I guess I am not :-) Never heard of a Qirsh. Never seen one.
Nice!
Kennedy halves are great. I am old enough that almost all of the ones I have were pulled from circulation by my own grubby little paws.

They are quite common and cheap if you want to get one!
Will look into that :-) Might have to roust up some more kennedys also. Forgot how much I liked that coin. Love the half dollar sizes. Big enough to feel hefty, but small enough to still be unobtrusive.

I like seeing other currencies. These are cool little coins.
Honestly mate, you find the most interesting coin. I still have that Medusa coin you put up the other week in my head, and this one is nearly as interesting!
The problem with Australia - we're close to nothing. Have been trying to hunt silver coins, and they don't show up on online marketplaces at a price point which represents value.
Keep the hunt alive then, Tim.
keep stacking pleb
Shut up cuck
the hat on that dude makes him look like a dork :)))
Like you!
In italy i bought some coins but they weren't real silver which sucks but they are still cool. The first guys hat is weird.
Regular coins are fun, I have to a shit ton of them. Love reading about em and their history!
I thought it will be worth more than 1.7 with the history that comes with it.
Lovely, you can really see how small the coin is compared to the Euro!
Amazing that they still used silver in the smaller coins back then.
Makes me want to buy some new coins!

Do it!
I will check with my dealer. The premium over spot is wide right now though.

Feces?
Fez, singular as in tarboosh hat. Fezzes is my engrish plural for of more than one Fez.
Fezzes are cool.
Yes feces are cool! Was just messing with you 😂
Good to see another country currency. Look nice

A very nice silver coin. It's first I have seen an Egyptian Qirsh !
Are we sure it's a hat? Might be the shape of his head!
Looking at it very well, I think it is a hat. I don't think we have head with that kind of angle

It was a joke.
I don't think I have seen an Egyptian coin before so it's a nice find.

Yes, it's pretty common and cheap too :)
I’ve never seen an Egyptian coin in person in all the years I’ve been collecting. Cool pick ups
