COLOMBIA. Banco del Progreso. 10 Pesos, 1899. P-S806. PMG Very Fine 30.
This is the second of two denominations from this rare series of 1899 Provisional overprinted notes on the backs of Banco Republicano, Medellín notes engraved and printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. A superb, fully issued host note, with strong red surcharges on the face. Blue face tint with multi-color flags at the sides. Cattle in oval at top center. Blue back. The 1899 text is red and very strongly printed with perfect contrast on the blank back. The ink stamps are noted, but of course they are part of the note as issued in this 1899 form and worthy of note. In fact, they enhance the significance of this historic and choice note. PMG Very Fine 30.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian Paper Money.
Estimate: $1500.00- $2500.00
