| Additional information |
The "Corrective Revolution" designation refers to Anwar Sadat's bloodless internal coup of May 1971, in which he outmaneuvered and arrested the Nasserist left wing of the Arab Socialist Union — including Ali Sabri, then considered the most powerful man in Egypt after Sadat himself. The move decisively ended Nasser's political model and realigned Egypt away from Soviet patronage. Coins bearing this title were struck throughout the 1970s as Sadat's government actively rewrote the symbolic vocabulary of Egyptian public life.
