Uniformed bust of Fouad I wearing a fez, right; name and titles in Arabic in front of and behind his head., Belgian lion and sphynx, conjoined and turned, right, hieroglyphs in two cartouches above, legend below., This extremely rare silver medal is a magnificent testimony to the Art Deco style and the talent of the medal makers of the period! Minted at the Monnaie de Paris in 1927, it is one of the last medals made by Emile Séraphin Vernier, who died the same year. The reverse was made by Godefroid Devreese, renowned Belgian engraver. It belongs to the series of medals struck to commemorate the “Egyptian royal Tour”, a series of visits by the Egyptian sovereign Fouad I to Europe, with this medal created for his visit to Belgium. Egypt was in fact a “young” monarchy, not gaining independence from the UK until 1922, at which time the sultanate was transformed., S.E / VERNIER / 1924, EGYPTE BELGIQUE // VISITE OFFICIELLE / DE SA MAJESTE FOUAD I / ROI D'EGYPTE / A LA BELGIQUE / XXVI-XXVIII-OCTOBRE MCMXXVII
