| Beschrijving keerzijde | A dynamic scene of traditional ox wrestling occupies the lower half of the field, depicting multiple male figures grappling with and restraining a bull, rendered in high relief against a plain ground line. Above the scene, a stylized Olympic torch with a flaming tip rises prominently at the top center of the field. The Arabic legend 'الألعاب الأولمبية ٢٥' (The 25th Olympic Games) is inscribed in the upper field flanking the torch handle, with the city name 'برشلونه' (Barcelona) and the date '١٩٩٢' (1992) inscribed in two lines in the lower exergue. The entire design is enclosed within a decorative segmented border. |

Part of Egypt's broader series of agricultural and folkloric issues produced through the late 1980s and early 1990s, this piece reflects a deliberate push by the Egyptian Mint to target the international collector market during a period when the government was actively expanding hard currency revenue streams. Ox wrestling — more accurately the traditional rural sport of bull wrestling practiced in Upper Egypt — had been documented in pharaonic reliefs millennia earlier, giving the subject a convenient antiquarian resonance that appealed to thematic collectors abroad.
Mintages for the series were kept deliberately low, and many pieces were sold directly through foreign distributors rather than domestic channels.
