Additional information

Issued to commemorate the hajj pilgrimage, this coin was part of Egypt's broader program of gold commemoratives produced through the 1980s under the Central Bank — a period when such issues were as much about foreign exchange generation as commemoration. Gold commemoratives of this type were frequently sold to collectors and institutions abroad rather than circulated domestically.
