Issued as part of Egypt's long-running series commemorating Cairo University's professional faculties, this piece honors the Chemistry Department specifically — one of several faculty-themed pounds released through the 1990s under the Central Bank of Egypt. Cairo University, founded in 1908 as the Egyptian University, was the first state-supported secular institution of higher learning in the country, a deliberate counterweight to Al-Azhar's centuries-old religious curriculum.
