Egypt 5 Pound 2004-08 Pick # 63b - Serial N. 4 - PMG 64 EPQ

Egyptian 5-pound note, issued by the Central Bank of Egypt between 2004 and 2008, Pick 63b, certified PMG 64 EPQ: exceptional paper quality, no restoration or pressing, uncirculated.

Obverse: Interior view of the Mosque of Ibn Tulun in Cairo, one of the oldest mosques in Egypt to retain its original form, next to the denomination in Arabic script. Reverse: Pharaonic relief depicting Hapi, the deity of the Nile associated with the annual flood, surrounded by scenes of Egyptian workers farming and fishing by the river.

This banknote is part of a long-running issue where the mosque on the obverse coexists with the iconography of Pharaonic Egypt on the reverse, a contrast that summarizes the country's dual Islamic and ancient heritage. An affordable banknote for those starting to collect Egypt or looking to complete their mosque series.
