Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing two athletes in action, playing field hockey, on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the Egyptian coat of arms. This design was created by the artist, Tarek Shams, and it stands out among other coins in the series, as it highlights Egypt's participation in the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, where field hockey was one of the sports included in the competition. The coin's gold composition and limited mintage of only 1,000 pieces also add to its exclusivity and collectibility.
