World Currency
Cyprus Government of Cyprus 10 Shillings, £10 30.6.1917 Plate Color Trials. By 1916 it became obvious that World War One had no end in sight and that the 1914 emergency series needed to be replaced with something more substantial and secure to meet the continuing public demand for currency. TDLR received the request to provide a new, refreshed, and upgraded series of notes in early 1917. These plate color trials for the 10 Shillings and £10 denominations were prepared by TDLR in the Spring of 1917, with these four examples dated 13 April, 1917. Impressions of the 10 Shillings purple, blue, and green plates as well as the £10 red plate are included. Uncirculated as made condition. The opportunity to acquire this unique grouping which provides insight into the design process may not present itself again for years to come. HID08701242017
