| Obverse description | The obverse features prominent Arabic calligraphic inscriptions arranged across the field, with the country name 'Arab Republic of Egypt' rendered in stylised script along the upper arc. The denomination 'One Pound' appears in large calligraphic lettering at centre, flanked by the Gregorian date 1979 to the left and the Hijri date 1399 to the right. An elaborate arabesque ornamental panel occupies the lower portion of the field, featuring interlaced foliate scrollwork in a traditional Islamic decorative style. The entire design is framed by a segmented border of alternating reeded and plain sections running along the inner edge of the coin. |
