Cuba Republica de Cuba 500 Pesos 1944 Pick 75s Specimen. Even with the outstanding pink underprint and pink intaglio features on the back, do not confuse it with the later notes printed by the American Bank Note Company! All other notes of this Certificado de Plata series were designed and printed by the BEP, and had a distinctively US currency look to it, down to the narrower serial number font. These higher value 500 and 1000 Pesos denominations of this series were produced by the American Bank Note Company, with the 500 Pesos of this 1944 issue date only known as a Specimen. Heavy embossing as expected on American Bank Note Company examples are seen on this Specimen with zero serial numbers and 2 POCs. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ.
Estimate: 2500-3500 USD
