| Obverse description | Central field features an ornate Arabic calligraphic inscription reading 'Arab Republic of Egypt' rendered in a decorative Thuluth style, flanked by two circular cartouches at upper left and upper right containing the denomination in Arabic. A stylised foliate or minaret-like finial rises above the central legend. The dual date appears in the lower field, with the Hijri year 1405 to the right and the Gregorian year 1985 to the left, both in Eastern Arabic-Indic numerals. The entire design is enclosed within a finely beaded border running along the inner rim. |

| Reverse description | Central design depicts two stylised winged figures — rendered in the manner of Horus falcons with fully spread wings — positioned head-to-head, evoking the imagery of flight and aviation. The composition forms a dynamic diamond-shaped negative space between the two figures, symbolising Cairo International Airport. A bilingual legend encircles the upper portion of the field in Arabic ('ميناء القاهرة الدولي') and the lower portion in Latin script ('CAIRO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT'), with both inscriptions set within the same beaded border as the obverse. |
