| Additional information |
The International Congress of Pediatrics has convened roughly every three years since its founding in 1912, rotating among member nations. Egypt hosted the twenty-first session in Cairo in 1995, and this coin was issued to mark that occasion — a standard practice for Egyptian commemoratives of the period, which routinely tied silver issues to international conferences held on Egyptian soil.
The .720 fineness is characteristic of Egyptian commemorative silver from this era, sitting below sterling and reflecting a deliberate policy to reduce silver content while maintaining the appearance of a precious-metal issue.
