The Federation of Arab Republics (Arabic: اتحاد الجمهوريات العربية Ittiḥād al-Jumhūrīyāt al-‘Arabīyah) was an attempt by Muammar Gaddafi to merge Libya, Egypt and Syria in order to create a United Arab state. Although approved by a referendum in each country on 1 September 1971, the three countries disagreed on the specific terms of the merger. The federation lasted from 1 January 1972 to 19 November 1977.
In 1975, the Sherritt Mint minted 4 million 1 lira (100 piastre) coins in nickel for the Central Bank of Syria, and all of them were dated with the previous year. Furthermore, there were two gold off-metal strikes, but these do not appear in the Sherritt Mint's Annual Coinage Summary for 1975.
