| Aanvullende informatie |
Egypt commemorated the completion of the Cairo Metro's second line with this issue — specifically the tunnel segment running beneath the Nile between Shubra el-Kheima and Giza, an engineering undertaking that required boring through unstable alluvial sediment deposited over millennia. The project was executed with French technical assistance and opened in stages through the late 1990s, making Cairo one of only a handful of African cities with a functioning metro system at the time.
The .875 fineness is standard for Egyptian commemorative gold of this period, following the historic carat conventions used by the Cairo assay system rather than the .900 fine gold common to European issues.
