Gro,

Not sure if this is an official piece or more likely an unofficial commemorate jetton, "Commemorating the Seventh Anniversary of the 23 July Revolution" (1952-59).

Probably given or sold to those participating in the independence day rally.

Gro,

Thanks for posting this. Yet another interesting Egyptian commemorative from the Nasser period

The lettering on the bottom of the medal, in the first photo, may be a clue as to the provenance of this medal: "Coin Minting Authority."
