| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features a calligraphic Arabic legend arranged across the field in multiple registers, with the country name 'Arab Republic of Egypt' inscribed in the upper portion. The denomination 'One Pound' appears prominently in the central field in ornate Arabic script. The dual dating, combining the Gregorian year 1982 and the Hijri year 1403, is inscribed to either side of the central legend. A decorative floral arabesque ornament occupies the lower portion of the field. The design is framed by a plain inner border and a dashed outer border following the coin's rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to commemorate the Egyptian Air Force, this piece was struck shortly after Egypt's military relationships had been dramatically realigned — the 1979 peace treaty with Israel ended Soviet arms supply agreements and forced Egypt into an almost total reorientation toward American and Western equipment and training. The Air Force being honored here was, by 1983, a fundamentally different institution than the one that crossed the Suez Canal a decade earlier.
The .875 fineness places it in the older 21-karat gold standard traditional to Egyptian jewelry and coinage, rather than the .900 used by most Western commemorative issues of the same period.
