Pick 43 spans a politically turbulent decade — the defeat of 1967, the War of Attrition, the October War of 1973, and Sadat's subsequent pivot toward economic liberalization — yet the note itself remained unchanged throughout, a rare instance of design continuity across such discontinuous policy. Three successive governors signed it, which is why date-signed examples are actively sought to build a complete signature run.
The print run of just over twelve million is modest for an eleven-year issue, suggesting periodic rather than continuous printing.
