Egypt 1 pound Land Reform Bank 100th Anniversary PR68 PCGS silver coin 1979

Egypt 1 Pound 1979 (AH1399) silver Proof coin, graded PR68 DCAM by PCGS, was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Land Reform Bank—an institution central to Egypt’s agricultural and economic development. This coin reflects the transformation of rural life and the importance of land reform in supporting farmers and national growth.

The obverse features a powerful композиция rooted in ancient Egyptian symbolism. At the center sits a stylized human figure in a traditional pose, representing the farmer and the foundation of agrarian society. Above and around are relief scenes inspired by ancient Egyptian wall carvings: oxen pulling agricultural tools, figures harvesting crops, and workers engaged in farming activities. Vertical panels resemble temple reliefs, emphasizing continuity between ancient agricultural traditions and modern reforms. The lower section includes Arabic inscriptions, while the detailed border frames the scene. The reverse displays a refined circular design with Arabic calligraphy, a central emblem resembling a plant or floral motif, and a wreath-like border of leaves symbolizing fertility, growth, and prosperity. The inscriptions denote the institution, denomination, and dual dates.

Struck in silver with deep cameo Proof quality and certified PR68 DCAM by PCGS, this coin offers exceptional contrast and sharp detail, making it a highly desirable collectible for themes of agriculture, history, and Egyptian economic heritage.
