| Reverse description | The reverse, shaped to mirror the outline of the Tutankhamun mask flan, features a scene of the Giza pyramid complex in the central field, rendered with contrasting mirror-polished and matte surfaces to suggest desert landscape. Above, the Arabic legend جمهورية مصر العربية (Arab Republic of Egypt) is inscribed in ornate calligraphic script occupying the upper register. The denomination ١٠ (10) appears prominently in the lower central field, flanked below by the unit مليمات (Milliemes), with the dual-calendar dates ١٣٩٩ and ١٩٧٩ arranged along the lower left and right periphery respectively. |

| Additional information |
This piece is part of Egypt's broader series of collector issues tied to the international Tutankhamun exhibition that toured major Western museums between 1972 and 1979 — a traveling show that drew record crowds and reignited global fascination with the 1922 Howard Carter discovery. The Cairo government moved quickly to capitalize on that momentum through official numismatic releases.
The AH date 1399 corresponds to 1979 CE, the closing year of the tour's North American leg.
