Description

A rare credit note issued in Cairo in 1923 by N. Mosseri Figli & Co. for 154 piastres, showcasing elegant bilingual design and period printing. These financial instruments were part of the regional commercial infrastructure during a dynamic period of Egyptian economic modernization.


The Mosseri family were prominent Jewish bankers and merchants in Egypt and the wider Mediterranean, known for their vital role in facilitating international banking, investment, and trade between Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.

Their firm operated as both financial intermediaries and industrial investors, deeply integrated into Egypt’s economic elite during the early 20th century.

A fine piece of regional financial history linking Egypt’s cosmopolitan trade networks and banking heritage.
