    The coin is one pound from the United Arab Republic which was a merge between Syria and Egypt that lasted only 3 years between 1958 to 1961

    It's from a fascinating time in Arabian history, when Nasser was uniting many countries in a socialist, semi-secular, pan-Arab movement. I bet the west wishes they could have Nasser back. A very interesting coin from an interesting place in time.
