Portuguese Guinea Banco Nacional Ultramarino 50 Escudos 27.3.1947 Pick 34 PMG Very Fine 20. An original, although heavily circulated example of this very rare note, which seldom crosses the auction block. It is safe to assume that all dates 1947 and earlier are highly elusive from this small Portuguese colony in western Africa. Limited issuance, as evidenced by the serial number without a prefix, confirms that very few of these types have survived for collectors to enjoy today. In fact, this note increases the PMG Population to three examples at the time of cataloging. Minor rust is mentioned for accuracy, and luckily, it is confined to the borders. Perhaps a surprisingly rare note when first encountered, but after consideration, its rarity is not surprising at all. HID08701242017
Estimate: 400-500 USD
