Background & history
This 10 piastres note belongs to the 1940 Issue series of Egyptian currency notes, produced during World War II when Egypt was still a kingdom under British influence. The Currency Note Issue was managed by the Ministry of Finance rather than a central bank (the Central Bank of Egypt was not established until 1961). This series circulated during the wartime economy and the transitional period before the 1952 revolution. The note features reference code 'B/48' indicating issue series and signature control. Serial number format with Arabic-Indic numerals was standard for Egyptian notes of this period.
