| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely detailed relief depiction of an ancient Egyptian war chariot drawn by a plumed horse in full stride, with an armored archer standing in the chariot and drawing a bow. The central motif rests on a ground line, evoking ancient Egyptian military iconography. An Arabic legend arching around the upper field reads 'العيد الذهبي للانتاج الحربي' (Military Production Golden Jubilee), and the date 'أكتوبر ٢٠٠٤' (October 2004) is inscribed in the lower field. The entire design is framed by a decorative segmented inner border. |

| Additional information |
Egypt's military production coinage of this type was struck by the Egyptian Mint in Abbasia and issued through military-affiliated channels rather than conventional banking distribution — a procurement and sales structure that kept many examples out of general circulation entirely. The .875 fineness aligns with the traditional 21-karat standard long preferred in Egyptian gold markets, where 18-karat pieces have historically faced consumer resistance.
