Reverse description Central field depicts a scene inspired by ancient Egyptian art, showing a swimmer in profile extending arms forward through stylized water, with aquatic plants and reeds rising in the background. Above the swimmer, a duck in flight with wings fully spread is rendered in a manner reminiscent of Pharaonic relief carving, while a fish is visible beneath the water line. The Arabic legend 'الدورة ٢٥ للألعاب الأوليمبية' (The 25th Olympic Games) curves along the lower field, and the Arabic inscription 'برشلونة ١٩٩٢' (Barcelona 1992) arcs across the upper portion. A segmented decorative border frames the entire composition.
