| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features the Eagle of Saladin with wings spread displayed at centre, rendered in the ancient Egyptian artistic tradition, flanked by the denomination '5 LE' in Latin numerals to the left and its Arabic equivalent '٥ جـ' to the right. The Arabic legend 'جمهورية مصر العربية' (Arab Republic of Egypt) appears in two lines above the eagle, with the abbreviation 'A·R·E' in Latin script immediately below. The dual calendar dates — Hijri '١٤١٥' / '1415' and Gregorian '١٩٩٤' / '1994' — are inscribed along the lower periphery on both sides, and the mint mark 'E / CC' appears at the bottom of the field. The entire design is struck in proof finish against a deeply mirrored field, framed by a reeded border. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a faithful numismatic rendering of the celebrated ancient Egyptian polychrome limestone group statue of the dwarf Seneb and his family, dating to the Old Kingdom (circa 2520–2350 BC) and now housed in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. Seneb, depicted as a dwarf with characteristic proportions, is shown seated cross-legged on a cubic base beside his full-statured wife Senetites, who affectionately places her arm around his shoulder. Two small figures of their children stand in relief at the front of the base beneath Seneb, their fingers raised to their lips in the conventional Egyptian child pose, effectively occupying the space where his legs would have been. The sculptural group is rendered centrally in the mirror-polished proof field with no surrounding legends, allowing the ancient artwork to dominate the composition. |
