1938 Royal Wedding Pin – King Farouk & Queen Farida of Egypt – Photographic Memento – Historical Royalty Badge

On January 20, 1938, Egypt celebrated the marriage of King Farouk I, then just 18 years old, to Queen Farida (née Safinaz Zulficar), a noblewoman from one of Egypt’s most prominent families. Their wedding was a national event, symbolizing a hopeful and modern future for the monarchy. Items like this pin were produced as patriotic tokens during a time when royal imagery was central to national pride. Though their marriage ended in 1948, this badge remains a rare relic of a romanticized royal era, just years before the Egyptian monarchy was abolished in 1952. Authentic pieces from this period are seldom seen and are deeply cherished by collectors of royal ephemera and Middle Eastern history.
