| Reverse description | Depiction of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina building viewed in perspective, with its distinctive tilted circular disc roof rendered in a hatched grid pattern suggesting the glazed panels, rising above a stylized representation of the Mediterranean Sea shown as horizontal wave lines in the lower field. A large semicircular arch frames the roofline against the open field above. The circular legend 'BIBLIOTHECA ALEXANDRINA . 16 OCTOBER 2002' runs along the upper rim in Latin script, while the Arabic equivalent 'مكتبة الاسكندرية ١٦ اكتوبر ٢٠٠٢' arcs across the upper inner field. The design commemorates the official inauguration of the library. |
