OF ALL THE COUNTIRES ON THE PLANET THAT HAVE PRINTED PAPER MONEY, PERHAPS EGYPT IS NEAR THE PINNACLE IN RARITY IN OBTAINING EARLY PIECES AND IS HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER!  MOST PAPER MONEY WAS TRADED IN THE MARKETPLACES FOR FOOD, BASKETS, CLOTHING ETC... AND WERE MARKED ON WITH PENCIL OR PEN (KNOWN AS GRAFFITI) TO WRITE DOWN TOTALS ETC... AND REALLY "USED" AS DAY TO DAY TRADES TOOK PLACE IN THE MARKET.  IT'S FASCINATING TO THINK OF HOW MANY EGYPTIANS HANDLED AND SAVED THESE PIECES.  IT'S JUST MINDBOGGLING TO THINK HOW THIS PARTICULAR PIECE HAS SURVIVED ALMOST 100 YEARS IN THIS BEAUTIFUL CONDITION.  CERTAINLY  DESTINED AS A WORLD CLASS TROPHY NOTE FOR ALL AGES!
The Mamluk Sultanate rulers originally freed slaves forming a military caste, and founded a new graveyard named Sahara, because of its desert environment, outside the city at its north-eastern border. It was also a place for military parades, such as tournaments and investiture ceremonies, as well as for processions, at which sultan and nobles took part during the religious celebrations. Some built their palaces on the main road of the cemetery in order to assist in the spectacles.
