| Comments |
Egypt's 100 Pound notes of this series were printed by the state-owned printing authority, the Postal Printing House in Cairo — one of relatively few countries that handles its own high-denomination production entirely in-house. The security thread specification for this issue has caused persistent collector confusion: the catalog records a narrow-value watermark thread for the September 2000 signature, but this feature is widely reported as either absent or undetectable in practice, possibly reflecting a printing variation or a cataloging error carried forward from earlier documentation.
Worth examining against strong transmitted light before attributing a signature variety.
