Obverse description	The Citadel of Cairo with its mosque vignette occupies the left side, while a tall minaret and mosque complex fill the right; camels with handlers appear in the lower left foreground. The centre carries the promise-to-pay legend in English and Arabic, with the denomination 'ONE HUNDRED Egyptian Pounds' set within an ornate guilloche panel. Bilingual Arabic and English inscriptions frame the note, with the issuer title 'NATIONAL BANK OF EGYPT' across the top and the Governor's manuscript signature at lower centre.
