NETHERLANDS NEW GUINEA. Netherlands New Guinea Government. 500 Gulden, 8.12.1954. P-17s. Specimen.
Specimen overprints and serial numbers. A true rarity and the highest denomination of this rare 1954 Netherlands New Guinea issue. The note is the first we have offered on the design type in any form and rarely appears in any public sale. We are unaware of issued notes that exist leading us to believe that these specimens form the only way to illustrate the design type. The quality observed is striking with excellent centering of the impression along with bold color and original paper. Queen Juliana, right center. Bird left. Deeply watermarked paper and seen with specimen serial numbers in a "ladder," format. A lot which may make our estimate seem conservative. PCGS Gem New 65 PPQ.
Estimate: $3000.00- $5000.00
