One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the first anniversary of the United Arab Republic (UAR), which was a short-lived political union between Egypt and Syria that lasted from 1958 to 1961. The coin's design reflects this historical event, featuring an image of the UAR's flag on one side and the Egyptian coat of arms on the other.
