| Additional information |
This small denomination was produced during Egypt's period as the United Arab Republic, the short-lived political union with Syria that dissolved in 1961 — meaning these coins were struck entirely after the union's collapse, yet continued to bear UAR state branding throughout the series run. The copper-aluminium alloy was a deliberate cost-reduction measure adopted across several low denominations in this era, replacing the older bronze compositions.
