| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized tughra-style calligraphic cartouche rendered in ornate Arabic script, serving as the decorative centrepiece of the design. The denomination '١ جنيها' (1 Pound) appears in large Arabic numerals below the cartouche. A circular Arabic legend surrounds the central design, reading the commemorative inscription honoring Arab singer Abdel Halim Hafez along with the issuing authority 'Arab Republic of Egypt.' The dual date '١٤١٦ - ١٩٩٥' (AH 1416 / AD 1995) is prominently displayed in the lower portion of the field. The rim is bordered by a reeded decorative pattern of fine dashes. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a left-facing portrait bust of the celebrated Egyptian singer Abdel Halim Hafez in high relief, depicted in a naturalistic and dignified style with finely detailed hair and an open-collared shirt. The truncation of the bust is visible at the lower field, with a small mint mark visible to the right of the bust. A circular dashed border frames the design along the inner rim. The field is otherwise plain, allowing the portrait to dominate the composition. The overall artistic treatment reflects the commemorative character of the issue. |
