Egypt's National Police Day on January 25th carries a particular historical irony: it was chosen to commemorate a 1952 incident in Ismailia where British forces killed over fifty Egyptian police officers who refused to surrender their weapons. That date later became the flashpoint for the 2011 revolution that ousted Mubarak. Issuing a celebratory circulation coin on that anniversary, in 2021, is a pointed act of institutional reclamation by a government that has worked methodically to rehabilitate the police's public image since the military's return to power in 2013.
