| Obverse description | Within an irregularly outlined circular border, the central field bears the Arabic legend of the country name 'Arab Republic of Egypt' at the top, with the denomination 'One Pound' and the commemorative title 'The Holy Family in Egypt' inscribed below. The Hijri year 1443 and Gregorian year 2022 flank the central text, with the Coptic year 1738 also referenced. All inscriptions are rendered in Arabic script, and the overall design is contained within an imperfect hand-drawn circle, lending an artistic character to the obverse. |
