💡 Historical Background
This 5 piastre banknote is one of a series with a very unique design in the history of Egyptian banknotes. Nefertiti was a real queen of Egypt during the 18th Dynasty in the 14th century BC, and is still popular today for her beauty and mysticism.
Additionally, the inscription "Law No. 50/1940" indicates the legal basis for issuing currency at the time, making this a highly valuable document that gives a glimpse into the design philosophy that was used for a long time.
