| Additional information |
Cairo University's Faculty of Law, founded in 1906, was among the first secular law schools in the Arab world and trained much of Egypt's modern judicial and political class — including Boutros Boutros-Ghali. Egypt's commemorative silver program has issued dozens of institutional anniversaries in this weight and fineness, making individual pieces unremarkable as objects of monetary policy but genuinely useful as documentary records of which institutions the state chose to honor and when.
