| Obverse description | At center, the Eagle of Saladin with spread wings faces forward, bearing an Arabic cartouche on its breast inscribed with the name of the Arab Republic of Egypt. Above the eagle, the denomination '5 L.E.' appears in both Arabic and Latin numerals, flanked by the AH date 1412 to the right and the Gregorian year 1992 to the left. The peripheral legend reads 'THE 25th OLYMPIC GAMES 1992' in Latin script along the lower arc, with a dentilated border encircling the entire design. |

| Reverse description | A dynamic depiction of a handball player in mid-stride, rendered in high relief, with the right arm raised overhead gripping the ball in preparation for a throw, the left arm extended outward for balance, and the legs spread apart in a leaping pose. Diagonal lines in the left field suggest the goal netting as a stylized background element. An Arabic legend curves along the upper arc identifying the sport, while the lower arc bears an Arabic inscription reading 'Barcelona 1992' along with the AH date, all within a dentilated border. |
