The decision to mint it came as a complement to the first issue issued in 1865 AD with its different denominations. It was also used as salaries for workers in the Suez Canal, and it was also traded among merchants in Port Said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\">These coins were in circulation during the period when Khedive Abbas Hilmi II, son of Muhammad Tawfiq, son of Ismail, ruled Egypt from January 8, 1892 until his removal on December 19, 1914. He was the last Khedive of Egypt and Sudan.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\">The number of denominations minted reached six different coins, all in French. The first side bears the phrase (Societe Cooperative du Canal de Suez) \u2013 the Suez Canal Cooperative Society, while the second side is written on it (Bon pour- 1892), with the denomination differing in each of the six coins. The date of issue: 1892 AD, and the denominations are: 5-10-50 centimes and 1-2-5 Francs. As for the material used in minting these coins, it was aluminum.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"296\" height=\"300\" data-id=\"281571\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/12814024_10154055015983413_7497553271191398612_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-281571\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"298\" data-id=\"281572\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/12821330_10154055015978413_2632081097651814709_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-281572\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1092\" height=\"544\" data-id=\"281573\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/10535584_10154055016133413_4582550293878448031_o.jpg\" alt=\"French money for the Suez Canal\" class=\"wp-image-281573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/10535584_10154055016133413_4582550293878448031_o-768x383.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/10535584_10154055016133413_4582550293878448031_o.jpg 1092w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1092px) 100vw, 1092px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"936\" height=\"464\" data-id=\"281574\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/12832401_10154055016178413_6829339133661940722_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-281574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/12832401_10154055016178413_6829339133661940722_n-768x381.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/12832401_10154055016178413_6829339133661940722_n.jpg 936w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"917\" height=\"456\" data-id=\"281570\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/12821535_10154055016113413_6998194415486386893_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-281570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/12821535_10154055016113413_6998194415486386893_n-768x382.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/12821535_10154055016113413_6998194415486386893_n.jpg 917w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 917px) 100vw, 917px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1117\" height=\"557\" data-id=\"281575\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/12794896_10154055016243413_234770558160579038_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-281575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/12794896_10154055016243413_234770558160579038_o-768x383.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/12794896_10154055016243413_234770558160579038_o.jpg 1117w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1117px) 100vw, 1117px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<p dir=\"rtl\">For more similar topics, you can browse the Arab collector&#039;s website. <a href=\"https:\/\/arabcollector.com\/en\/port-saids-currency-an-unknown-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-abc=\"true\">the Link<\/a> the next:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"OrqtfFVAhCWXZBsSvoMR8gKP9Uc46ldpHGinwEQ2uyDJTIbazNj07Ye\"><blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"njLBi0dC4P\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arabcollector.com\/en\/port-saids-currency-an-unknown-history\/\">Port Said&#039;s currency\u2026the unknown history<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute;
