| Reverse description | The reverse presents a two-register frieze depicting workers practicing various applied and manual professions in a style reminiscent of ancient Egyptian relief art. The upper register shows figures engaged in activities such as agriculture, stone-working, weaving, and pottery, while the lower register depicts craftsmen including a smith, a mason, and a scribe, all rendered in a flat, hieratic artistic style. At the center bottom, a triangular emblem representing applied professions — incorporating tools and craft implements — is set within a decorative architectural base. The Arabic legend 'عام المهن التطبيقية' (Year of Applied Professions) arcs across the upper border of the field, and the date '٢٥ مارس ١٩٧٥' (25 March 1975) appears in the lower portion of the field flanking the central emblem. The coin's border mirrors the obverse with a geometric rectangular-pattern rim. |
