Egyptian pound
The legal exchange rates were fixed by force of law for important foreign currencies which became acceptable in the settlement of internal transactions. Eventually this led to Egypt using a "de facto" gold standard between 1885 and 1914, with E£1 = 7.4375 grams pure gold. At the outbreak of World War I, the Egyptian pound used a Sterling peg at one pound and sixpence Sterling to one Egyptian pound (Stg.£1 = E£0.975, or E£1 = Stg.£1/-/6).
