| Reverse description | Central field depicts a detailed scene of the Gamasa oil field, featuring a tall latticed oil derrick rising prominently in the center, flanked by industrial buildings and equipment at ground level; a flagpole with flag is visible to the left of the derrick. The scene is set against a desert landscape rendered in low relief. A curved Arabic legend above reads 'Gamasa Oil Field 1886,' referencing the date of Egypt's first petroleum discovery. The entire central composition is enclosed within an ornate rope-and-bead border encircling the coin. |
