Alle Welt: Fiji: highly rare unique and complete remainder set of 5 banknotes Fiji issued as "Leveuka Treasury Note" as one of the first ever issued banknote series in Fiji. The set contains the 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 Dollars note dated 18xx (1872-73) P. 14r, 15r, 16r, 17r and 18r. All 5 notes have very crisp original paper and bright colors. They are all hand-cancelled by pen at lower right as it was always did with this type of notes. The 10 Dollars note has a serial number and date (1972) written but it seems that it never entered circulation. The notes all have a center fold and light handling in paper but no tears, no repairs, not washed or pressed. All 5 notes do have small holes at right which were obviously caused by storation during the years. This is the very rare and unique possiblity to obtain the whole set at once. Already obtaining a single note of these is a rare opportunity as they are not often seen on the market. This rare and impressive set is a great piece of banknote history and surely a very high value addition to any collection. (5 pcs)
