| Additional information |
Egypt issued a series of silver 5-pound sports commemoratives through the late 1980s and into the 1990s, many timed loosely around Olympic cycles. The 1992 issue aligns with the Barcelona Games, where Egyptian athletes competed under a program substantially supported by state sports infrastructure built after Sadat's open-door economic reforms of the 1970s drew foreign investment into national institutions.
Mintages for this series were modest and primarily directed at collector markets rather than circulation. Most examples encountered today show no wear at all.
