PORTUGAL. Banco de Portugal. 50, 100 & 1000 Escudos, ND. P-NL. Original Artwork.
6 pieces in lot. A remarkable grouping of original drawings for a proposed series of Banco de Portugal notes prepared by Orell Fussli. Included are face and back drawings in color of a 50, 100 and 1,000 Escudos design with terrific renditions of these un-adopted designs. Interestingly an error looks to have been made on the 1,000 Escudos face design with 100 counters seen but a rightful MIL ESCUDOS written, the back is with the correct 1000 counters. Also included in the lot are several photographs used for inspiration. Truly a unique lot that may prove our estimate conservative. About Uncirculated.
Estimate: $400.00- $800.00
