Along the lower arc of the field, the commemorative inscription ١٥٠ عاما على إنشاء كلية الحقوق (150 Years on the Establishment of the Faculty of Law) is inscribed.

| Additional information |
Cairo University's Faculty of Law is among the oldest in the Arab world, established in 1906 under French legal influence at a time when Egypt's judicial system was navigating mixed courts that gave foreign nationals separate legal standing. That institutional tension — between European-imposed legal frameworks and Egyptian sovereignty — shaped the faculty's foundational curriculum for decades.
Egypt has issued a steady stream of university commemoratives in .720 silver since the 1990s, most in modest quantities destined for collector sets rather than circulation.
