A radiant rising sun with pronounced rays emerges from the horizon at the upper center, symbolizing a new era. The date '١٥ مايو ١٩٦٤' (15 May 1964) is inscribed in the upper legend in Arabic numerals and script. The lower field carries a two-line Arabic commemorative inscription reading 'تذكار تحويل مجرى نهر النيل' (Commemoration of the Diversion of the Nile River). The design is contained within a reeded border. |
