| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a detailed rendering of the Mosque of Muhammad Ali (also known as the Alabaster Mosque), situated within the Citadel of Salah El-Din in Cairo, drawn from the Islamic Illustrations series. The mosque is shown with its distinctive Ottoman-style domes and tall minarets rising prominently against a plain field. The architectural composition is presented in a fine engraved style, capturing the iconic silhouette of one of Egypt's most celebrated historic monuments. The design occupies the central field without additional lettering or peripheral legend on the reverse. |

| Additional information |
Egypt's small-denomination coinage of the early 1980s was produced in volumes that make survivors in uncirculated condition genuinely difficult to source — not because mintages were low, but because these coins circulated hard through a cash-dependent economy with limited banking penetration outside Cairo and Alexandria.
