| Obverse description | The obverse field features the country name 'الجمهورية العربية المتحدة' (United Arab Republic) inscribed in Arabic naskh script across the upper portion, with the denomination 'خمسة جنيهات' (Five Pounds) prominently displayed in the centre. The dual date '١٣٧٩ - ١٩٦٠' (AH 1379 / AD 1960) appears below the denomination. In the lower field, a stylised ancient Egyptian winged solar disk emblem — the Eagle of Saladin with outspread wings flanking a central orb — is rendered in high relief, symbolising the United Arab Republic. The entire design is enclosed within a finely toothed inner border. |
