| Additional information |
World Environment Day is a UN-designated observance held annually on June 5th, and Egypt has issued commemorative coinage tied to the date on multiple occasions — this 2007 piece among them. The choice of 22-karat gold for what is nominally an environmental commemorative is unremarkable by Egyptian commemorative standards; the country has a long tradition of issuing gold pieces for UN and international observance dates regardless of thematic fit.
Mintage figures for this type remain poorly documented in Western references, with MHC#1452 offering the most reliable attribution.
