Egypt 1 Pound 1979 (AH1399) silver commemorative coin issued to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Abbasia Mint Authority, an essential institution responsible for producing Egypt’s coinage and official medals. This piece reflects the country’s industrial progress and the pride of its national mint.
The obverse showcases a detailed architectural depiction of the Abbasia Mint building with a symmetrical façade, central gate, and extended wings. Above it appears a cogwheel encircling minting machinery, symbolizing precision and industrial craftsmanship, with radiating lines emphasizing productivity and growth. Arabic inscriptions frame the design, while the dates 1954 and 1979 mark the founding and anniversary years. A finely engraved segmented border completes the composition. The reverse features flowing Arabic calligraphy arranged in a circular pattern, presenting the denomination and Hijri date AH1399. At the bottom, an intricate arabesque ornament with floral curls and symmetrical scrollwork adds artistic elegance.
Established in 1954, the Abbasia Mint has played a crucial role in shaping Egypt’s monetary system and commemorative coinage.
Struck in silver with a beautiful Proof Deep Cameo finish and graded PR67 DCAM by PCGS, this coin displays exceptional contrast, mirror-like fields, and sharp relief. A premium collectible combining industrial symbolism and refined design, ideal for discerning numismatists.
