| Comments |
The National Bank of Egypt's 25 Piastres second issue spans a politically turbulent stretch: the Free Officers' coup of July 1952 deposed the monarchy within months of this series beginning, yet the notes continued circulating without interruption while Egypt transitioned from a kingdom to a republic. Bradbury Wilkinson produced the plates in New Malden, a consistent choice for Egyptian fractional currency through this period.
Three signature combinations are catalogued under P#28 — Fekry, Saad, and El-Emary — reflecting successive governors across the issue's five-year run, which is the quickest way to narrow dating within the series.
