Land Bank of Egypt, a pair of specimen certificates for 25 ordinary shares of £5 and 1 ordinary share of £5, Alexandria 1905, vignette of oxen with city in background, ornate border of Egyptian themes, pink and blue respectively, printed by Imprimerie Chaix, both have small hole cancels over number boxes and signature areas and on each coupon, small filing hole at top right, somewhat grubby down centre fold, very fine or better, the first rare (2). Although not marked as specimens, these were found amongst the files of Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. and in our opinion were kept for archive purposes. The 1 share piece is fairly common but the 25 share is very rare. Estimate £ 80
