| Obverse description | The obverse features a prominent tughra-style Arabic calligraphic emblem of the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) occupying the central field. Encircling the upper portion of the field, an Arabic legend reads the authority's full name and 'Arab Republic of Egypt.' The dual dates AH 1407 and AD 1987 appear in Arabic-Indic and Western numerals respectively across the lower central field, flanked by the calligraphic device. The denomination 'Ishrun Qirshan' (Twenty Piastres) is inscribed in bold Arabic script along the lower margin. The entire design is enclosed within a reeded border. |
