| Obverse description | At center, the Egyptian state emblem — a circular cartouche bearing the Arabic legend of the Arab Republic of Egypt in naskh script — is flanked by a pair of outstretched wings rendered in high relief. Above the wings, the denomination appears in both Arabic-Indic numerals and Latin script ('100 LE'), accompanied by the abbreviation 'ARE'. The dual dates AH 1412 and AD 1992 are inscribed above in Arabic-Indic and Western numerals respectively. The Latin legend 'THE 25TH OLYMPIC GAMES 1992' arcs along the left and right fields, while a decorative segmented border frames the entire design. |

| Reverse description | An Olympic torch with a stylized flame dominates the upper field. Below, an ancient Egyptian-style relief scene depicts multiple figures wrestling and subduing a bull-ox, rendered in a flat, hieroglyphic artistic convention inspired by Pharaonic wall paintings. The Arabic legend 'الألعاب الأولمبية ٢٥' (The 25th Olympic Games) is inscribed across the upper portion of the field, flanking the torch. In the lower exergue, the name 'برشلونه' (Barcelona) appears in Arabic above the date '١٩٩٢' in Arabic-Indic numerals. The coin is bordered by the same decorative segmented inner rim as the obverse. |
