Mint
Heaton and Sons / The Mint Birmingham (Heaton and Sons / The Mint Birmingham Limited), United Kingdom (1850-2003)Comments
Fuad al-Awwal (1868-1936) was the Sultan (1917-1922) and later King of Egypt (1922-1936).
The Birmingham Mint (previously known as Heaton's Mint) struck the two 1920H 20 Piastres as samples: one was saved by the mint (now graded NGC MS 64 and sold by Baldwin's of St. James's) and one was given to the Egyptian ruler (now in a museum in Egypt).
With a large number of 20 Piastres from 1916 and 1917 already in circulation - See links, larger production was not approved for the 1920H 20 Piastres.
