PORTUGAL. El Banco de Portugal. 500 Escudos, ND. P-129 Reverse Side Only. Artist Proposal.
A highly appealing Artist Proposal of the back design of this Bank of Portugal Pick 129 500 Escudos design. The note is placed inside a thick cardboard binding directly from the Bradbury Wilkinson Company with their logo on the bottom right of the binding. Inside on the note itself, there is printer's annotations toward the top. We call the note uncirculated as there are no folds, although some minor pinholes, scratches, and other very minor handling defects are seen but likely caused by the artist as they were hand drawing this piece. Tiny scuffs and markings likely cause from erasing, or ink and lead spreading from the palm of the artist. A highly desirable and likely unique piece as the design itself has only been offered as a Specimen.
Estimate: $2000.00- $3000.00
