More on the 1978 Camp David Accords Peace Memorial Medal
Jim Haas writes:
"Many thanks to Jeff Burke for the correction.
"When writing the piece my presumption was the since Sadat was the Prime Minster of Egypt, the script would be Egyptian, hence I searched for the correct spelling of the word in Egyptian. It never occurred to me that it would be Arabic and that there was a distinction.
"I did the same after seeing the correction and searched for the word in both Egyptian and Arabic. They appear to be the same."
Thank you. Language is a tricky aspect of numismatics.
