The National Bank of Egypt was established in 1898 with a concession granted by the Egyptian government, and this 50 Piastres note is among the earliest paper it issued — P#1 placing it at the very opening of the series. Bradbury Wilkinson, working out of New Malden in Surrey, handled the printing, as they did for a significant portion of British-influenced colonial and semi-colonial banking institutions of the period.
Two signatures appear: Palmer and Rowlatt. Ernest Palmer served as the bank's first governor; Frederick Rowlatt as secretary. Notes requiring both signatures were a deliberate safeguard built into the original concession terms, designed to prevent unilateral issuance.
