Commentary

Bon nombre de ces billets sont notés "Sea Salvage" par les anglo-saxons. En fait, ce billet fait partie de la cargaison du vaisseau "SS Egypt" coulé en 1922 au large du Finistère et contenant les productions de Waterlow & Sons pour l'Hyderabad. Une partie de la cargaison a été récupérée en 1930 ou 1932 par le navire Artiglio et ses plongeurs, des billets (non signés) ont pu être ainsi sauvés.
Many of these notes are labeled \\\"Sea Salvage\\\" by the Anglo-Saxons. In fact, this note is part of the cargo of the ship \\\"SS Egypt\\\" cast in 1922 off the coast of Finistère and containing the productions of Waterlow & Sons for the Hyderabad. Part of the cargo was recovered in 1930 or 1932 by the ship Artiglio and its divers, and some (unsigned) notes were thus saved.
