Travelling through Egypt in the 90's I was given some of these notes by a bank. Despite appearances the denomination is not zero. The Arabic symbol for the number 5 looks a bit like a zero or an egg. This is a 5 piaster note, i.e. 5/100 of an Egyptian pound. I literally couldn't give it away - shops would not accept it, so it came back home with me in my wallet as a souvenir.
Currently the Egyptian pound is worth NZ 15c so this note is less than a cent in value.
Nice picture though. I think it is Queen Nefertiti (14th Century BCE).
