Portuguese India Banco Nacional Ultramarino 50 Rupias ND (1906-18) Pick 18s Specimen. A uniface specimen of the highest denomination of this series. A very attractive and intricate main design is seen, featuring an allegorical woman with a trident, enhanced by the brilliant underprint colors. A wonderful example that carries all trademarks of Bradbury Wilkinson notes of this era. Interestingly, the left hand counterfoil is not included on this example that could be categorized as a proof, as there are no signatures, seals, or serial numbers except for a roulette canceled "Specimen" in the right signature area. This is the finest graded example of any Specimen of this design in the PMG Census. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. From the Feeling Good Collection HID08701242017
