About this banknote
The Egyptian Ministry of Finance issued the 5 piastres banknote (Pick 172) in 1953, following the 1952 revolution that led to the establishment of the Republic of Egypt. This provisional issue was signed by Abdel Gueleel el-Emery, the Minister of Finance and Economy at the time.
The front of the note features a portrait of Queen Nefertiti on the right side. The watermark, originally depicting King Farouk I, was overprinted with a dark pattern to obscure the deposed monarch's image. The note measures approximately 96 x 58 mm and was printed by the Survey of Egypt.
