The Anglo-Egyptian Banking Company was incorporated in London in 1864 to service trade finance between Britain and Egypt, operating at a moment when Egyptian public debt was spiraling toward the 1876 default that would eventually bring British occupation. This note was issued a decade after that crisis, during the period of British administrative control that followed Arabi Pasha's defeat at Tel el-Kebir in 1882. The bank operated branches in Alexandria and Cairo but remained a British-chartered institution throughout.
Bradbury Wilkinson produced high-security commercial bank notes for numerous colonial and trade-oriented institutions during this period, and their work for the Anglo-Egyptian series is consistent with that output. The £20 denomination would have been a wholesale instrument — not a note passing through ordinary retail commerce in the bazaars of Cairo.
