The National Bank of Egypt was established in 1898 as a private institution with a British-dominated board, and its early high-denomination notes circulated almost exclusively among foreign merchants, colonial administrators, and financial institutions — not among the Egyptian public. A 100-pound note in this period represented roughly a year's wages for most Egyptians, making retail circulation essentially theoretical.
