COLOMBIA. Banco de la República Billete Provisional - Overprinted on Casa de Moneda de Medellín. 2 ½ Pesos. ND (1923). P-351. PMG Very Fine 25.
An extremely rare Provisional overprint note with an illustrious pedigree. Long recognized as one of the key notes from the República series, it is rarely encountered. This example hails from the Amon Carter, Jr. Collection and was last sold in December 1997 at Spink America as part of the paired Lot 522. That two note lot realized $7,150. The ABNCo. printed host is a satisfying example, clean and sharp, with normal wear for the grade. The overprint on the deep green back is bold. It is the finest graded, much finer than the repaired Ward Collection note that still realized $6,210 at its aggressive opening bid. This finer note, exceptionally well pedigreed from these two illustrious cabinets, is worthy of exceeding that result. PMG Very Fine 25.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian Paper Money.
Estimate: $5000.00- $7500.00
