| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is dominated by the large Arabic numeral '٢٠' (20) at centre, denoting the denomination, with the Arabic word 'قرشاً' (Qirsh) inscribed below. A bold calligraphic Arabic legend reading 'جمهورية مصر العربية' (Arab Republic of Egypt) arcs across the upper field. The Hijri year '١٤١٣' appears to the lower right and the Gregorian year '١٩٩٢' to the lower left, flanking the denomination. The coin is bordered by a reeded rim with a fine beaded inner border. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a detailed architectural rendering of the Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo, one of the oldest and most celebrated centres of Islamic learning, depicted in a frontal perspective filling the central field. Three ornate minarets rise prominently above the mosque's façade, with the characteristic ribbed dome visible to the left. The elaborate entrance portal and decorative stonework of the mosque's exterior walls are rendered with fine engraving detail. The design is contained within a beaded inner border and a reeded outer rim, with no additional legend on this face. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Egypt's 1992 coinage program followed the country's difficult IMF-backed structural adjustment period, during which subsidy cuts and currency reforms reshaped everyday commerce. The 20 qirsh denomination sat at a genuinely useful transactional value during this transition, keeping it in active circulation rather than hoarded.
KM#733 is a relatively short-lived type, superseded by subsequent reformulations of the qirsh series as inflation continued eroding the pound's purchasing power through the 1990s.
