| Opmerkingen |
The Cassa Mediterranea di Credito per l'Egitto was a purpose-built Italian occupation currency authority, created in anticipation of an Axis conquest of Egypt that never materialized at scale. These notes were printed in Rome in 1942 — the same year Rommel's advance stalled at El Alamein — and were intended to replace Egyptian pounds once Axis forces consolidated control of the Nile Delta.
They never circulated in Egypt in any meaningful volume. The military reversal meant most of the print run remained unissued, which partly explains current availability. The denomination structure — denominated in Lire rather than local currency — reflects how completely the Italians had planned the administrative takeover.
