| Obverse description | Central field features the Eagle of Saladin displayed with wings spread, rendered in the ancient Egyptian heraldic style, flanked by scrolled cartouches at its talons. Above the eagle, the Arabic legend 'جمهورية مصر العربية' (Arab Republic of Egypt) is inscribed in two lines, surmounted by a stylized lotus flower emblem. The denomination '5 LE' appears to the left and its Arabic numeral equivalent 'جـ ٥' to the right of the legend. Dual dating is inscribed around the lower periphery: the Gregorian year '1994' to the lower left and the Hijri year '1415' to the lower right, each repeated in both Western and Eastern Arabic numerals. The Cairo Mint mark 'ECC' appears in the exergue below the eagle, and the entire design is framed by a decorative segmented border. |

| Reverse description | Full-length effigy of Neith, the ancient Egyptian goddess of war and weaving, depicted in the traditional frontal Egyptian artistic convention, facing right. The goddess is clad in a form-fitting scale-patterned garment and wears her characteristic tall White Crown of Lower Egypt surmounted by a curled feather. She holds a was-sceptre in her lowered right hand and carries her emblematic attributes — a bundle of arrows and a bow — in her raised left hand. A beaded inner circle frames the entire composition against a deeply mirrored proof field, with the bilingual legend 'NEITH نيت' absent from the visible design area, likely positioned outside the inner border. |
