| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate the 1990 FIFA World Cup held in Italy, this coin was part of Egypt's broader commemorative gold program of the late 1980s and early 1990s — a period when the Central Bank produced a succession of collector-oriented issues largely aimed at foreign buyers and hard-currency markets rather than domestic circulation.
The .900 fineness follows the standard Egypt had maintained for commemorative gold since the Nasser-era issues, never adopting the .917 or .999 specifications more common among contemporaneous Arab state issues.
