Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1959 to commemorate the founding of the United Arab Republic, which was a short-lived political union between Egypt and Syria that lasted from 1958 to 1961. Despite the union's dissolution, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in Middle Eastern history and currency.
