1921 National Bank of Egypt Cairo issued cheque with blue guilloche frame and settlement stamps

Egypt 1921 - National Bank of Egypt, Cairo Branch Issued Cheque

The cheque is completed in dark fountain-pen ink for the amount of eighty-five Egyptian pounds, written in both numeric form and longhand across the center. The handwriting reflects period commercial script-slanted cursive with looped capitals and steady line pressure-typical of trained bank clerks in the British-influenced financial offices of Cairo. The date '23rd March 1921' is entered in matching ink at upper right. Across the center, a firm red NOT NEGOTIABLE overprint spans the entire instrument, applied heavily enough to leave a slight embossing into the paper fibers, ensuring the cheque could only be cleared internally and not endorsed to a third party.
