The nominations for 2023 just ended so we will have to wait to see which note is the last winner of this award, but in 2022 the 1000 Peso Note from the Philippines was the winner. This beautiful note features the endangered Philippines eagle on front, along with a holographic Sampaguita, Philippines’ national flower. The back remains as the previous 1000 note, featuring Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park. As we can see in the pictures it is a beautiful note full of security measures and made our polymer which makes it even more attractive.

2023 Nominees

There are many candidates for the 2023 award. Jamaica, Pakistan, Mauritania, or Kyrgyzstan is some of the nominees this year, the less regular ones, some of them you may never seen them in your life. BUt also there are other candidates like South Africa, Argentina, or Peru, more common. But we would like to focus on one that is from one of the most touristic places on earth: Egypt.

Egyptian 20 Pound Note

We can be bias since we are not on the jury of this award, but for us this one must be a winner. This 20-pound note is as beautiful as modern. In the front the Alabaster Mosque with some Arabic text. In the back an amazing image from
Ramesses II, Cleopatra, and the Great Pyramid. We hope for this one to win, but as we said we don’t have a saying in the matter.

 

And of course, you can get your Egyptian pounds at the Eurochange offices, or in our website, and stay tuned, since we throw some promotions here and there.
