Comment
This is the only Egyptian coin that bears the name of an Assyrian month 'Tammuz' (تموز), used in the Levant including Syria which at the time was united with Egypt.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1960 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the National Assembly of Egypt, which was established in 1950. The coin's design features the National Assembly building in Cairo, which is a prominent example of modern Egyptian architecture. The building was designed by the Egyptian architect, Sayed Karim, and was completed in 1955. The coin's obverse side features the Arabic inscription "National Assembly" and the date "1380" (1960) in Arabic numerals, while the reverse side features the value "25 Qirsh" and the coat of arms of Egypt. The use of silver and copper in the coin's composition gives it a unique and distinctive appearance, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in Egyptian currency.
