It had in its cargo Gold valued at One Million Pounds. Few Salvagers formed a Salvage Company called 'SORIMA', they hired a cargo ship called 'Artiglio' with the sole purpose of salvaging the One Million Pound worth of Gold in SS Egypt. In June of 1932, they were able to salvage the gold and along with it the unsigned notes of Hyderabad in denominations of 5, 10 &amp; 100.
