Issued to mark the 1990 FIFA World Cup held in Italy, this piece belongs to a broader Egyptian commemorative gold program that accelerated through the 1980s as the country sought hard currency through collector sales abroad. Egypt had no competitive team in the tournament — the national side failed to qualify — which gives the issue a slightly detached quality unusual even among World Cup commemoratives.
