Where & when
What's on the note
Front: The Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan in Cairo, one of the largest and most monumental mosques in the Islamic world. Built between 1356 and 1363 during the Mamluk period under Sultan an-Nasir Hasan, it is celebrated for its massive scale, soaring minarets, and masterful architecture representing the pinnacle of Mamluk construction. The complex served both as a congregational mosque and as a madrasa teaching all four Sunni schools of Islamic jurisprudence.
Back: Statue of Ramesses II at Abu Simbel, flanked by papyrus plants and a royal cartouche. Ramesses II (r. 1279–1213 BCE), known as Ramesses the Great, was the third pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty and one of ancient Egypt's most powerful and celebrated rulers. The colossal seated statues at Abu Simbel, carved from the cliff face in Nubia, commemorate his reign and military victories, and were relocated in the 1960s during the construction of the Aswan High Dam.

Background & history
This 50 Egyptian pound note was issued by the Central Bank of Egypt in 2001, bearing the Gregorian date 2001/6/11 (June 11, 2001) on the front. The design juxtaposes Islamic and Pharaonic heritage: the front features the Mamluk-era Sultan Hassan Mosque, while the reverse honors ancient Egypt with Ramesses II. This note represents the later paper issues before Egypt transitioned to polymer notes for some denominations in the 2010s. Pick #62 is well-documented and remains common in the collector market.
