| Reverse description | Central color-printed photographic depiction of the historic Khan El-Khalili bazaar in Cairo, showing the iconic arched stone gateway of the medieval market with vendors and merchandise in the foreground, rendered in full polychrome color. The central scene is encircled by a decorative band of multicolored rectangular segments alternating with stylized lotus and papyrus motifs in gold and silver tones. The legend KHAN EL-KHALILI arcs across the upper periphery and ANCIENT EGYPT along the lower periphery, both in gilded relief lettering. At the base, a gilt Egyptian scarab beetle with outstretched wings serves as a decorative ornament. The border is defined by a fine ring of beading. |
