| Reverse description | The reverse features a central rectangular panel depicting a classroom scene in low relief, with two standing teachers — one male and one female — flanked by seated students reading at desks, rendered in a stylized, bas-relief manner reminiscent of ancient Egyptian frieze compositions. The Arabic legend 'عيد المعلم' (Teacher's Day) is inscribed within the panel across the centre. The rectangular scene is framed above and below by elaborate arabesque foliate ornamental borders, lending an Islamic decorative character to the composition. The whole design is enclosed within a square-patterned inner border matching the obverse, with a reeded outer rim. |
