EGYPT. National Bank of Egypt 50 Pounds, 16.4.1906. P-5s.
Specimen printed by BWC. One of the more significant Egyptian offerings we can recall handling and a design that is highly rare. The large format Bradbury Wilkinson design shows with a detailed vignette of the Philae Temple at left and ornate under-printed protector at right in multicolored. The quality of this Specimen note is quite important being that is found with strong original paper and lovely clarity throughout. High denomination designs such as this are missing in even comprehensive collections, and we will anticipate spirited bidding when this note crosses the auction block. PCGS Very Choice New 64
