Portuguese India. Banco Nacional Ultramarino. 50 Rupias, 1938. P-34. Good.
An extremely difficult design, and the first issued for the type we have offered. These elusive Portuguese India notes always garner quite a bit of attention as their vignettes, and detail always attract collectors of exotic looking notes. Some serious handling observed here with missing pieces in the margins and toward the top of the design and some paper cuffs and pulls also observed typical to the grade. The majority of the design is still in tact, and we believe even with the mentioned issues, this piece will still appeal to most as it is seldom available in better condition. Good.
Estimate: $1000.00- $1500.00
