EGYPT: SET of 6 gilt medals, 2020, Historic Cairo medal set, with six different views of historic importance (mostly mosques), each engraved HISTORIC CAIRO in English and Arab legend around with the number 1050; all are undated, but the accompanying brochure cites that these commemorate 1050 years since Cairo was founded in 969 (thus 2019) and the date 2020 is provided within the brochure text; in a large black box, set of 6 medals. The gilt medals weigh about 31g each, and are probably made of silver, though the metal is not indicated in the brochure or on the medals. The size and thickness seem correct for silver. With a gloss bag printed E.M.A and "Egyptian Mint Authority", so it is likely that the medals were produced at that mint.
