| Additional information |
El Dabaa, on Egypt's Mediterranean coast roughly 300 km northwest of Cairo, has been the subject of nuclear development plans since the 1980s — a project repeatedly shelved due to financing failures, political instability, and Chernobyl-era anxiety. The current plant finally broke ground after Egypt signed a 2015 agreement with Rosatom, Russia's state nuclear energy corporation, under a $25 billion loan arrangement covering the bulk of construction costs for four VVER-1200 reactors.
Commemorative silver issues tied to infrastructure milestones are a recurring mechanism for the Central Bank of Egypt, and this piece marks one of the country's most consequential energy commitments in a generation.
