| Obverse description | Central design depicts an open Quran resting on a stylized sunburst radiating rays upward, symbolizing divine enlightenment and Islamic scholarship. Arabic legend arcs around the upper periphery, identifying the honored cleric as Imam of the Preachers Sheikh Muhammad Metwali Al-Sharawi. A rectangular cartouche in the lower central field bears the inscription 'Arab Republic of Egypt' in Arabic. The dual date, rendered in both Western (1998) and Hijri (1419) numerals, is positioned in the lower field flanking a small official seal. The overall design is executed in a formal commemorative style with a smooth field and beaded inner border. |
