| Additional information |
Cairo Stadium — formally the Cairo International Stadium — opened in 1960 as part of Nasser's infrastructure ambitions ahead of Egypt hosting the 1965 African Cup of Nations. The commemorative program marking its 25th anniversary in 1985 fell under Mubarak's early presidency, a period when Egypt was still navigating its post-Camp David isolation from the Arab League and using prestige coinage partly as hard-currency generation for the state.
At .875 fineness, this sits in Egypt's standard commemorative gold specification of the era, produced in limited numbers for collector export rather than domestic circulation.
