| Beschrijving voorzijde | The central vignette presents the Muhammad Ali Mosque (Alabaster Mosque), an Ottoman-style landmark situated within the Citadel of Cairo, its twin minarets and animated silhouette rendered in fine intaglio line work against a guilloche underprint. The mosque, commissioned by Muhammad Ali Pasha between 1830 and 1848 and built in memory of his son Tusun Pasha, is one of Cairo's most recognisable monuments. Arabic inscriptions, the denomination, and the Central Bank of Egypt's title appear within the surrounding border design. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | At left, a finely engraved relief vignette reproduces the celebrated Abu Simbel scene of Ramses II charging at the Battle of Kadesh in his war chariot, the reins tied around his waist to free both hands for combat. At the lower right, a frieze derived from the chapel of Sesostris I at Karnak illustrates the pharaoh's coronation ceremony, rendered in period-accurate relief style. Denomination numerals and Arabic text complete the design within a guilloche border. |

Egypt has printed its own banknotes since the Central Bank's in-house facility at Al-Haram, Giza opened in 1967 — one of relatively few countries in the region operating a fully domestic production chain for its currency. The P#74 series ran through a period of considerable monetary turbulence, spanning the 2016 Egyptian pound float, which caused the currency to lose roughly half its value against the dollar almost overnight following the IMF agreement that November.
The signature date of 31 July 2016 places the earliest issued examples just months before that devaluation.
