| Additional information |
Egypt's parliament building — the People's Assembly headquarters on Qasr el-Aini Street in Cairo — underwent a major restoration project in the 1980s, part of a broader effort under Mubarak's government to rehabilitate significant state architecture following decades of neglect. This coin was issued to mark the completion of that work.
.720 fineness was the standard for Egyptian commemorative silver throughout this period, a deliberate cost-control measure that kept issues affordable for domestic collectors.
