| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a large, high-relief depiction of the Sacred Falcon of Horus of Edfu, shown as a standing statuette facing right, wearing the Double Crown of Upper and Lower Egypt (pschent). The falcon stands upright on a rectangular plinth or base, rendered in the formal, hieratic style characteristic of ancient Egyptian temple sculpture, referencing the famous granite statue housed at the Temple of Horus at Edfu. The polished proof fields provide a stark, mirror-like contrast to the finely detailed sculptural device, and the design is enclosed within a segmented inner border ring. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Egypt's sacred falcon issues of the early 1990s were produced primarily for the international collector market, a deliberate hard-currency strategy the Central Bank pursued aggressively following the debt restructuring agreements Egypt entered with the IMF in 1991. Domestic circulation was never the intent.
KM#795 is part of a broader series drawing on pharaonic iconography — a commercially calculated choice that coincided with renewed Western tourism interest after the Gulf War disruption.
