| Reverse description | Printed in mauve-purple, the reverse centres on an oval vignette of the Aswan Dam, rendered in fine intaglio line work showing the masonry structure with water cascading across its face. The oval is framed by intricate guilloche borders, with the numeral '5' in a circular guilloche cartouche at the left and an ornamental rosette at the right, all enclosed within a geometric lathe-work frame running the full perimeter of the note. |
