The appeal of design
Surface design
The obverse features the Al-Sayida Aisha Mosque, with its purple and pale lilac color scheme against a background of intricate geometric patterns, symbolizing the grandeur and beauty of Islamic architecture.
Back design
The reverse side features a large Egyptian eagle, flanked by crops such as corn, cotton, and wheat, symbolizing the wealth of agriculture that supports Egypt's economic foundation, and also signifying the nation's prosperity and independence.
Watermark
The watermark on the 25 piastre banknote is a portrait of King Tutankhamun. The larger version was used for the notes issued from 1985 to 2006, while the smaller version was used for the notes issued from 2004 to 2008. Collecting both types is one way to enjoy the banknotes.
⸻
Historical background
The 25 piastre banknote has been in use in Egypt for many years since its design was redesigned in 1985. At the time of its issue, Egypt was in the midst of economic reform and was seeking to stabilize its monetary system with the support of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.
Therefore, these banknotes are not just a means of everyday payment, but also a commemorative symbol of a period of change in the Egyptian economy. Currently, the number of these notes in circulation has decreased significantly, and they have gained increased historical and cultural value.
