| Obverse description | Within the brass-plated steel centre, the Arabic legend 'جمهورية مصر العربية' (Arab Republic of Egypt) arcs along the upper field. The denomination '١ جنيه' in Arabic and 'ONE POUND' in Latin script appear centrally, flanked by the Gregorian year '٢٠٢٣م' and the Hijri year '١٤٤٥هـ', all rendered in Arabic numerals. The nickel-plated steel outer ring frames the central inscriptions with a plain, unadorned border. |

| Reverse description | The brass-plated steel centre depicts three helmeted Egyptian soldiers seated in a military assault boat, crossing a body of water; the central figure raises a large national flag aloft, while the flanking soldiers grip oars and rifles, evoking the crossing of the Suez Canal during the October War of 1973. The nickel-plated steel outer ring is decorated with a continuous decorative motif of stylised lotus flowers and foliage interspersed with the commemorative Arabic legend, which arcs around the full circumference of the ring. |
