Depicts the building of the Parliament of Egypt and a rising sun behind, hand on the Constitution in front. The inscription "Commemoration of the National Assembly Inauguration" and "July" Gregorian and Syriac above.

The building of the Parliament of Egypt in downtown Cairo was commissioned by Khedive Ismail in 1878. The country's legislative experience started in 1866, a century and a half ago.

Depicts mirrored vulture wings and Egyptian cobra heads (symbols of Ancient Egypt) flanking the disk of the sun (God Amun Ra). The country name (Republic of Egypt), value (Arabic numeral 25 in the centre, the denomination "Qirsh" below) and dates (Hegira and Gregorian) above.

The Egyptian cobra (Naja haje) was represented in Egyptian mythology by the cobra-headed goddess Meretseger. A stylised Egyptian cobra—in the form of the uraeus representing the goddess Wadjet—was the symbol of sovereignty for the Pharaohs who incorporated it into their diadem.
