"A little bit of history"
In 1914 at the start of the first World War Britain declared a Protectorate over Egypt and deposed the Khedive, Abbas Hilmi II and had him replaced by his nephew , Hussein Kamel who was proclaimed Sultan of Egypt by the British
on the 19 December 1914.
This move was to insure the British maintained a clear route to India
via the Suez canal.
~~~~~~
The British minted Egyptian coinage with English as well as Arabic text so as to help the occupying British troops with identification and denomination types.
The obverse of the coin bears the date AH 1333 (The accession date)
The reverse of the silver coins are dated with both the Arabic & Western date
AH 1335 / AD 1916 or AH 1335 / AD 1917
