Currency 1926 Egypt One Pound Banknote P20 Signed Hornsby Egyptian Fallah VF25
Description: A beautiful very fine banknote from Egypt. This is the July 6, 1926 one pound. This is a beautiful and very colorful banknote, which in my opinion is one of the prettiest Egyptian banknotes. This is known as the "Fallah" banknote. The note has the image of an Egyptian peasant or Fallah in a circular frame to the right of the front. The front which is generally green in color has also a multicolored background with beautiful decorative designs imbedded in the body of the note and along the edges. The front also has a white circle to the left of the front where the watermark is located. The back is purple and has the image of Egyptian Islamic buildings with a minaret in the center surrounded by two circles. One of the circles has the denomination in Arabic and English on top of each other and the other circle is clear and is where the watermark is located. The front of the note is written in Arabic and English lettering while the back is in Arabic, with only the denomination being in English. The note shows the denomination on both the front and back. The note has a watermark showing the head of the Sphinx. This particular note has the serial number 051305 and is series J/6. It is signed by Bertram Hornsby, who was the governor of the National Bank of Egypt at the time. It was issued by the National Bank of Egypt.
