COLOMBIA. Banco de la República Billete Provisional - Overprinted on Casa de Moneda de Medellín. 5 Pesos. ND (1923). P-352. PMG Choice Very Fine 35.
An amazing opportunity to bid on a second note from this exceedingly rare Provisional series. Overprinted on the back of a ABNCo. printed Casa de Moneda de Medellín, this was last cataloged and sold in the Amon Carter, Jr. sale in December 1997 (lot 522 and illustrated in the plates). That was over 20 years ago. It is an incredible note and we believe it is the finest from the series. The ABNCo. host type is beautifully designed with Foringer adapted vignette at the center. Brown and blue multi-color tinting on the face. The brown back has a very strong overprint. Noted by PMG as previously mounted. Precise viewing is needed to find those marks. The paper originality is superb. One of the key types in the entire collection. A prize Latin American and world note rarity. PMG Choice Very Fine 35.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian Paper Money.
Estimate: $6000.00- $9000.00
