EGYPT. National Bank of Egypt. 100 Pounds, 6.9.1913. P-16s. Specimen. PMG Choice Very Fine 35 Net. Previously Mounted.
Specimen serial numbers and small "CANCELLED," perforation. This large format design produced by Bradbury Wilkinson and Company would most certainly rank among the most beautiful banknote designs produced. A purple primary design incorporated intricate lathe styling and central vignette of a Citadel and mosque of Mohammed Ali at center. Multicolored guilloche at left and right and spanning the upper center. Yellow, red and green under-printed color. Back design again in purple with "100" counters at left and right and floral styling at center with framed under-printed design in multicolored. We have a hard time justifying the Very Fine grade by PMG as the circulation is incredibly faint. A note that will be a cornerstone in even the most advanced collections. PMG Choice Very Fine 35 Net. Previously Mounted.
Estimate: $9000.00- $12000.00
