| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a three-quarter perspective view of the neoclassical facade of the Supreme Judicial Council building, rendered in fine relief with prominent columns and a grand portico. A semicircular arc frames the upper portion of the building, above which the Arabic legend 'اليوبيل الفضي' (Silver Jubilee) is inscribed in flowing cursive script. The date range '١٩٨٤-٢٠٠٩' appears in Eastern Arabic numerals at the lower center beneath the building, while the full Arabic legend commemorating the return of the Supreme Judicial Council is inscribed along the lower arc of the coin. A toothed inner border encircles the entire design. |

| Additional information |
Egypt's Supreme Judicial Council, founded in 1969 under Nasser's restructuring of the judiciary, became the constitutional body overseeing judicial appointments and discipline — a role that placed it at the center of repeated confrontations between the bench and executive power throughout the Mubarak years. This coin was issued just as those tensions were accelerating, with judges openly challenging electoral fraud findings in 2005 having set off a years-long standoff. The .720 silver specification places it firmly in Egypt's commemorative coinage program of that decade, which consistently used sub-sterling alloys for domestic-market issues.
