About this banknote
The Central Bank of Egypt issued the 1-pound banknote in 1963 as part of a series introduced between 1961 and 1967. This series was created following financial reforms in Egypt, with the legal foundation laid by government efforts to modernize the nation’s financial system during that period.
The front side of the banknote features the iconic mask of Tutankhamen to the right, printed in blue-green on lilac and multicolor underprint. The banknote measures 162 by 84 millimeters and was printed by Bradbury Wilkinson and Company in the United Kingdom. The back side displays Egypt's national arms as a watermark, consistent with security features of that time.
