<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MEC2, post: 1643570, member: 38692&quot;]Well this was a mighty fruitful weekend of auctions, which means next week ought to be pretty good. This last new pickup from Saturday&#039;s mail is a 10 Piastres note from Egypt. I wish I knew a little more about this note, other than the Temple of Philae is on the front, and it has really tiny anti counterfeit text in red on the reverse, as well as watermarked paper throughout in Arabic. Not sure how this note was issued and from what authority, it does say Survey of Egypt and it was during British colonial rule (you can tell that always from the presence of Western Arabic Numerals on the serial, top left, and Arabic Arabic numerals, bottom right - yep those are the same number!), but it doesn&#039;t mention either the Central Bank or National Bank of Egypt. My wife really likes the coloring on the front of this note, not sure why it caught her eye but it did, and she has good taste, especially in men, so I cannot dispute her...</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/MEC2DFW/Currency/Egypt/10PF_zps47307c3b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/MEC2DFW/Currency/Egypt/10PB_zps54d42c3b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
