Police Day coin 69
The Egyptian Mint will issue 3 million Egyptian pounds worth of coins bearing the Police Day logo in the next few days. The Cabinet, in its weekly meeting, approved the issuance of these coins on the condition that they be "circulating" and not commemorative.
1- The issue is in the pound denomination and the value of the piece is one pound, meaning it is a commemorative item but is tradable in the markets.
2- The Police Day pound will circulate normally alongside other circulating coins bearing the mask of King Tut, and symbolic images of other projects such as the New Suez Canal, the development of the Egyptian countryside, solar energy, the new Assiut Barrages, the new city of El Alamein, the Zohr field, the national road network, in addition to the eightieth anniversary of the establishment of the Ministry of Social Solidarity.
3- The edition will only have 3 million pieces.
4- This is the first time a commemorative coin has been issued for the Egyptian police since 1988, when the Mint issued a non-circulating commemorative silver coin of five pounds and a circulating commemorative coin of twenty piasters, both bearing the emblem of the Ministry of Interior and the date January 25.
5- This year marks 69 years since the Battle of Ismailia, which was considered a holiday for the Egyptian police in glorification of the bravery of the policemen when they refused to hand over their weapons and evacuate the Ismailia Governorate building to the British forces. The clash between the Egyptian police and the British forces resulted in the death of 56 Egyptian policemen and 73 wounded, and the British forces seized the governorate building and demolished it.
