5-Pounds silver commemorative coin issued by Egypt in 1991 to celebrate atomic energy. The obverse features an elaborate Arabic calligraphic composition with the official name of the State and the date in Islamic and Gregorian calendars, executed in a highly elegant, typically Islamic artistic style. The reverse shows a pyramid surrounded by electronic orbits, accompanied by the Cairo University emblem and legends relating to the scientific program, blending historical and technological symbolism. The specimen retains a remarkable original mint lustre, clean fields and well-defined reliefs, with minimal surface marks consistent with its high grade MS65. This is a modern commemorative issue reflecting Egypt’s interest in scientific development and nuclear research at the end of the 20th century.
