| Reverse description | The reverse depicts five figures standing in a row from left to right: a person in a wheelchair, an adult man, a woman, a child, and an elderly man leaning on a cane, all joined hand in hand in a gesture of solidarity. The group is sheltered beneath two overlapping arcs spanning the upper field, symbolising protection and unity. Arabic inscriptions in the field record the commemorative legend marking eighty years of social solidarity, flanked by the founding year 1939 and the issue year 2019, with the word Egypt appearing at the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Egypt's Ministry of Social Solidarity administers the country's social protection programs, including cash transfer schemes that reach millions of low-income households — making it an unusual subject for a circulating coin, which more typically commemorates monuments or historical figures. The 2019 issue coincides with the ministry's expanded role under the Takaful and Karama program, a conditional cash transfer initiative launched in 2015 with World Bank backing that significantly raised the ministry's public profile.
