| Reverse description | The reverse presents a right-facing bust portrait of the celebrated Egyptian literary figure Taha Hussein, rendered in bold relief with finely engraved detail depicting his characteristic spectacles, close-cropped hair, moustache, and suit jacket. The portrait occupies the central field, framed by an inner decorative border of alternating dash-and-notch segments consistent with the obverse. The field surrounding the portrait is plain, allowing the effigy to dominate the composition. No inscriptions appear on the reverse, with the subject identified solely by the coin's title and obverse legends. |
