This circulating coin features a design that is distinctly Egyptian, depicting the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, a historic landmark that is a symbol of Cairo, the capital of Egypt.
One side is inscribed with the name of the Arab Republic of Egypt in Arabic, the face value of 10 piastres (١٠ قروش), and the years 1413 in the Islamic calendar and 1992 in the Western calendar.
The design, which boldly places Arabic script within a geometric frame, showcases characteristics typical of modern Egyptian currency.
On the opposite side, there is a depiction of the Mohammed Ali Mosque located in the Citadel of Salah El Din in Cairo.
The Mohammed Ali Mosque is a renowned Islamic architectural landmark in Cairo, characterized by its large central dome and slender minarets. The building's features, such as the dome and minarets, are meticulously depicted on the coin, making it a recommended choice for collectors of world coins featuring architectural themes.
