Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Suez Canal Reopening coin is that it was issued to commemorate the reopening of the Suez Canal, which was a significant event in Egypt's history. The canal had been closed for several years due to the Six-Day War in 1967, and its reopening in 1975 was seen as a symbol of Egypt's recovery and growth. The coin's design features an image of the Suez Canal, along with the dates of its opening and reopening, and the phrase "Suez Canal Reopening" in Arabic. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in Egyptian history and coinage.
