Archival Collection of Qatar Proofs for the Monetary Agency, Monetary Authority, and Monetary Council. Certified by PCGS Currency.
7 pieces in lot. For the cataloging of this rare Archival Collection created for his highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Hamad Al-Thani, we are using the description as it's written in the PCGS booklet that is included with this spectacular group.

"Half a century after establishing the monetary history of the State of Qatar and the independent State of Qatar, and the separation of Qatar and Dubai Monetary Council, his highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Hamad Al-Thani has ordered that the Qatari currency be given a new name. Several names were nominated to his highness. The names are as follows : Qatar Monetary Council, Qatar Monetary Authority, and Qatar Monetary Agency.

Here we have found this original archival collection, the only existing evidence. This collection consists of seven papers with PCGS and an Authenticity Certificate of the proofs name and category (of State of Qatar currency).

As his highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Hamad Al-Thani ordered, the first private set of the nominated names and categories were printed. Those included the main picture of the State of Qatar currency in 1973, where one of those proofs has been documented in English that it was especially for his highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Hamad Al-Thani, the prince of the State of Qatar, and dated in 1973-2-22. Above this documentation, there is a beautiful and marvelous sketch of the palace of Sheikh Abdullah Bin Qasem Al-Thani, with amazing attention to detail. "

In total, there are 7 total archival pieces in this lot that make up the aforementioned set. We have all the images of the group online, including the provided booklet for your convenience.

Certified by PCGS Currency.

Estimate: $30000.00- $40000.00
