TAHITI. Banque de l'Indo Chine 500 Francs, 1926. P-13a. PMG Uncirculated 62.
This lot contains a special Tahiti piece which the Pick Catalog only lists with a 1923, and a 1938 date option. The catalog also only prices those pieces up to the EF level as it is unconscionable that a piece at this uncirculated level has survived. This particular example has a stamp cancellation diagonally stamped across the face, with some light toning on the note that we mention for accuracy. The design itself features an allegorical woman holding a shield at left, with a sailing ships vignette at upper center. The reverse shows a woman at right with her left breast exposed. The color and detail remains strong throughout the note with an ornate appearance. Excellent centering, and registration observed. PMG Uncirculated 62.
Estimate: $2000.00- $3000.00
