nickstrenk Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 Has anybody seen it?Can anybody identify? Thanks for answer.
oamotme Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 Nick, The obverse has Gamal Abdulnasser of Egypt and I suspect it is one of the many souvenir or memento medals issued during the 1950s and 1960s. I can't read the obverse script other than the last word which is 'the nation'. Kind regards, Owain

Kind regards, Owain The reverse says " عاشت كل يدٍ تبني حجراً في صرح الوطن", "Long live every hand that builds a stone in the edifice of the nation" which a quick Google search indicates appears to be a Nasserist motto. The flag is the pre-1958 one with a crescent and three stars, so hopefully that helps date the item. Edited July 28, 2017 by Egyptian Zogist
