Few Salvagers formed a Salvage Company called &#39;SORIMA&#39;, they hired a cargo ship called &#39;Artiglio&#39; 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. There were a total of 1,65,000 notes of which after protracted negotiations through his advocates with &#39;Sorima&#39;, the Nawab of Hyderabad bought back 1,28,000 notes in July 1939. These banknotes were burnt in London. The remaining notes are either with collectors or are missing under the sea. These notes were printed by Waterlow &amp; Sons.
