The National Bank of Egypt was a privately chartered institution — established with heavy British capital in 1898 — that performed central banking functions under the Occupation while remaining nominally independent. This long-running series reflects the entire interwar period and runs through the early wartime years, with signature changes tracking successive British chief accountants rather than Egyptian officeholders. That detail alone tells you something about who was actually running the bank.
Bradbury Wilkinson's intaglio work for Egyptian issues of this period is generally regarded as among their finer colonial commissions. Notes from the Nixon signature period warrant closer attention to paper quality, as wartime material restrictions affected stock consistency from roughly 1942 onward.
