Colors of coins

Let's analyze the history of these currencies through their "colors":

 

Firstly: Undoubtedly, it is from a single collection or a collection that belonged to one person who kept it for many years.

 

Secondly: Since the colors are dark on one side and light on the other, it is most likely that these pieces were kept in a drawer inside a wooden coin cabinet (which is what collectors used before the spread of cardboard albums in the 1930s).

 

Third: There is a high probability that this staircase was lined with velvet, as evidenced by the gold color turning brown while the following color gradients remained.

 

Fourth: If we agree on all of the above, then most likely the side that says “struck in Egypt” was the side that was next to the velvet, as it reacts faster than the side that is far away.

 

Fifth: The 6-pound shilling is the least beautiful of them, especially the face of “struck in Egypt.” The reason? This piece was cleaned or washed and then left to its own devices for years!

 

Sixth: The owner of the collection took great care of it, but apparently he was not entirely careful, as he touched the surface of the coin with his fingertips, which appeared at 11 o'clock on the side of the tughra, and it is the only thing harmful to the eye on this side!

 

All this information can be deduced from the colors of the currency!

 

All the pieces were sold at auction in 2018 Heritage The latter at prices ranging between 2000$-5500$
