The Anglo-Egyptian Banking Company was incorporated in London in 1864 to service British commercial interests in Egypt and the Levant. By 1886, the Egyptian financial system was still reeling from the consequences of the 1882 British occupation and the forced restructuring of Egyptian state debt — private banknotes circulated alongside a chaotic mix of government kaimés and foreign currency, with public confidence in paper extremely low.
Bradbury Wilkinson's engraved work on private bank issues of this period is among the finest produced for colonial-market institutions. The S102 designation indicates a private banking issue rather than a central authority, and survivors are genuinely rare — the Anglo-Egyptian Banking Company was absorbed into Barclays (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas) in 1925, after which remaining stocks would have been retired.
