| Additional information |
EgyptAir, founded in 1932 as Misr Airwork, is Africa's oldest surviving airline and one of the founding members of the Arab Air Carriers Organization. This coin was issued as part of Egypt's broader commemorative pound series honoring national institutions, a program that has grown substantially since the bimetallic format was adopted for the denomination. The airline has operated under state ownership since Nasser's nationalization policies of the 1960s reshaped Egypt's public sector.
