COLOMBIA. Banco del Progreso - Overprinted on Banco Republicano. 5 Pesos, 1899. P- Unlisted. PMG Very Fine 20.
A great rarity and an important opportunity. This is the first of two notes from the 1899 Provisional overprinted series on the backs of Banco Republicano, Medellín notes engraved and printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. This example is an unlisted denomination. The host note (P-S812) is rare and this is fully signed and issued. Bold gold face tint with multi-color flags at the sides. The upper center Mercury vignette has definitive feminine features often seen on Bradbury portraits of the period. Red oval surcharge on the face is complete. The back overprint is strong and the orange lower left surcharge is also clear. Noted with ink stamps, splits. The assigned grade from PMG is a bit liberal, but the eye appeal of the face is considerable and this is an unlisted note. PMG Very Fine 20.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian Paper Money.
Estimate: $1500.00- $2500.00
