"EAGLE" Gold

The 1 Millieme coin from 1960, bearing the iconic Salaheldin eagle, is a testament to Egypt's pride and unity during a transformative era. Issued shortly after Egypt and Syria formed the United Arab Republic, the coin reflects the spirit of pan-Arabism and the desire for regional solidarity. The eagle, a symbol of strength and independence, stands proudly on the back, representing the ideals of freedom and resilience that defined this period in Egyptian history. Crafted from aluminum bronze, with 92% copper and 8% aluminum, the coin weighs 1.89 grams, has a diameter of 16 mm, and a thickness of 1.2 mm, giving it a lightweight yet durable design. This 1 Millieme coin is not only a piece of currency but also a cherished symbol of Egypt’s influential role in the Arab world during the mid-20th century.
