Iraq Imperial Ottoman Bank Bill of Exchange Basra L1500 1925 - A 1925 bill of exchange issued in Basra by the Imperial Ottoman Bank for £1500 sterling and payable by Gulbenkian Bros & Co., London (payee). The document bears endorsement marks of Barclays Bank Ltd. and National Provincial Bank of England, with clear acceptance and ‘PAID’ stamps. It also features dual revenue adhesives (Iraqi 2 Annas and British 2d), representing both jurisdictions. An appealing artifact of early 20th-century Iraq–UK financial correspondence.
