Description
Single Finest Graded 1 Pound of 1899
Egypt National Bank of Egypt 1 Pound 5.1.1899 Pick 2b PMG
Choice Very Fine 35.The National Bank of Egypt's first series of banknotes were issued bearing an 1899 date. The first two denominations of the series are rare in issued form, but can be found infrequently. All denominations higher than 1 Pound are either exceedingly rare in issued form, or only known in Specimen or Proof formats.
This impressive and beautiful 1 Pound features the famous Camels engraving on the front. At the time of cataloging, this is the single finest example in the PMG Population Report of only 23 notes present in the census. The stamped Rowlatt signature remains clear, and all other details are bold and bright. A small ink stamp is mentioned for accuracy. Extremely rare in such an outstanding grade with such good eye appeal.
