| Reverse description | Central design depicts an architectural rendering of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina set within a large circular vignette, showing the distinctive tilted disc-shaped roof of the library building alongside a minaret and adjacent structures, above stylized waves representing the Mediterranean Sea. Radiating lines in the upper portion of the circle suggest sunrays or the pages of an open book. The bilingual legend 'BIBLIOTHECA ALEXANDRINA' in Latin and 'مكتبة الإسكندرية مصر' in Arabic arc around the upper rim. The denomination '٥ جنيهات' (5 Pounds) appears in Arabic along the lower right field. |
