| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 60th anniversary of Egyptian state television, which launched its first broadcast in 1960 — making Egypt the first country in Africa and the Arab world to operate a national television service. The Central Bank produced this commemorative as part of a broader series celebrating Egyptian technological and cultural milestones, though mintages for the run were modest and domestic distribution limited.
