| Additional information |
The "Corrective Revolution" designation refers to Anwar Sadat's self-styled coup of May 1971, in which he purged the Nasserist left wing of the Arab Socialist Union and consolidated personal control — framing the move as a correction of Nasser's socialist excesses rather than a simple power grab. Coins bearing this inscription were issued across several denominations through the 1970s as the Sadat government sought to embed the event's legitimacy into everyday commerce.
Egypt shifted sharply toward economic liberalization under Sadat's *Infitah* policy during exactly this production window, which makes the continued use of state-nationalist coin iconography something of a political hedge.
