| Obverse description | The obverse features the denomination numeral '٥' (5) prominently in the centre of the field, with the Arabic word 'جنيهات' (Pounds) inscribed below. The country name 'جمهورية مصر العربية' (Arab Republic of Egypt) is rendered in an ornamental Arabic legend along the upper periphery, framed by a decorative beaded border. The dual dating '١٤٢١ - ٢٠٠١' appears in the lower field in Arabic-Indic and Western numerals respectively, flanking the central denomination. An elaborate arabesque floral scroll ornament runs along the lower rim, lending the design a traditional character. |
