| Additional information |
The Arab Land Bank was established in 1948 to finance agricultural development across Arab states, with Egypt as a principal founding member. This commemorative issue marks one of the bank's periodic anniversaries and belongs to a broader Egyptian silver program from the 1990s that produced dozens of institutional commemoratives — most in modest quantities, nearly all absorbed by the collector market rather than circulation.
The .720 fine silver specification places it outside Egypt's earlier commemorative standard, a deliberate cost reduction that became common across the series after 1990.
