Additional information

Egypt's Scientists' Day commemoratives were issued under Sadat's government as part of a broader push to frame the post-Nasser state as one oriented toward technical modernization and academic prestige. This particular issue appeared in October 1981 — the same month Sadat was assassinated at a military parade — making it one of the final coin issues authorized under his administration.
