The first Pyramid/Sphinx series
1867 ( I Aug.) to 1869 (July)
Designed by F. Hoff of Hirschberg, Silesia and lithographed in Alexcmdria by V. Fenasson.
Unified design for all values.
These stamps were demonetized on Februayy 1, 1872.
The design was engraved four times (2 x 2) for each value, the resulting block of 4 served to form the entire sheet of 200 stamps so plating these is easy.

Very nice. I have these two in Used and not even close to this condition. When I was in Egypt with UN Peacekeepers in 1976, I found a stamp shop somewhere in Cairo. He had quite a few Egyptian issues but not as many as one would think. Have a few earlies but after that just about complete up to around 1985. At the time it was a country I could afford to collect, even the expensive ones were fairly cheap. No so any more.

Thanks for all your postings. I will post a few of mine later.

Seems odd.

If you look at the 1872 issue that followed it is written in Italian: Poste Khedive Egiziane which had something to do with Italian influence at that time. "Somewhere" I have a Dec. 1871 decree that explains it but finding it is another story
