WW II - Egypt King Farouk Silver Coins

Egypt's central position in the arena of WWII was most important. Mussolini had made no secret of his desire to construct a huge Mediterranean empire at the expense of the British. He planned to move one army northward from Italian East Africa and send a second army eastward into Egypt from Libya. He hoped to catch the British in an African vise and eliminate them.

Mussolini's first step was to overrun British Somaliland, defended only by a small garrison, in August 1940. But his triumph was short-lived, for by the next summer the British had not only recaptured that territory, but had driven the Italians from their East African possessions, thereby securing Egypt and the Suez Canal from the Italians and more importantly the Germans ( although Germany's Afrika Korps, commanded by General Erwin Rommel, arrived at Tripoli In March 1941 and by mid-April, he had reconquered all of Libya except Tobruk; his exploits earned him the nickname " the Desert Fox " ).

Here from the land of the Suez Canal, is Egypt's coinage tribute. These lovely uncirculated two piastres silver coins issued during World War II ( 1942 ), depicting King Farouk on the obverse. All in extremely circulated condition.
