BANKNOTES SALVAGED FROM THE SS EGYPT

This week's E-Sylum has an excerpt from an article about a shipment of new Indian banknotes recovered from the 1922 wreck of the SS Egypt. It is in turn excerpted from Rezwan Razack's book Paper Money of the Princely State of Hyderabad.

20 Milliards | ajt

Another close-up of a 20 Millards bank note that the French Green Party give out as talking points. I've blipped these silly notes...

Old paper money, seen from a different world.

For this series, I explored an idea using my Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens—diving deep into the details of historical banknotes. A friend kindly brought part of his collection, and this is one of the first results: a Belgian 100 franc note, captured at extreme magnification.

At first glance, you might think you’re looking into the eyes of a lady. But look again—this is actually part of a bearded man. When isolated like this, reality shifts. Scale changes perception.

What fascinated me most are the physical details: the thickness of the ink, the tiny fibers of the paper, and the precision of printing techniques from the early 2000s. These notes were not just currency—they were carefully engineered objects designed to resist forgery through complexity at both visible and microscopic levels.

Captured with my Canon 5DS R and Canon MP-E 65mm.

A beautiful piece of history: a 1920 Hungarian 20 Korona banknote, rich in intricate design and multilingual inscriptions reflecting the diverse legacy of Central Europe after World War I.

The detailed artwork, ornate patterns, and architectural vignette make it not just currency, but a true collectible artifact from a turbulent era.

Given the current furor in the #UK regarding #banknote redesign, it seems a good time to mention De Nederlandsche Bank's "Designing Banknote Identity", an expansive and copiously illustrated text suitable for anyone interested in such things... #notaphily

Designing Banknote Identity

Ich habe mir jetzt endlich den langgehegten Wunsch erfüllt Milliardär zu sein. Gut, für den Gegenwert kriege ich vielleicht einen Laib Brot aber immerhin! 🎩 💰 #zimbabwe #geld #banknote #großerReichtum #hyperinflation

The first two lines from Boyd’s “Sonet of Venus & Cupid” appear on the back on the new Royal Bank of Scotland £20 note, along with red squirrels & blaeberries
