| Additional information |
Egypt's "Professions" series was issued in the mid-1980s as part of a broader effort to modernize circulating coinage following the inflationary pressures of the late Sadat and early Mubarak years. The 20 Qirsh denomination saw heavy everyday use, and examples with clean surfaces are genuinely difficult to find.
