PORTUGUESE INDIA. Banco Nacional Ultramarino. 50 Rupias, 1906. P-18s. Specimen. PMG Extremely Fine 40.
Another wide format Specimen from the BWC that pairs nicely with the prior lot and shows with the counterfoil still attached. There is some circulation in the counterfoil and margins, however any circulation in the actual design itself must be very faint as we cannot see it through a quick glance at the holdered note. Bright yellow hues permeate in the underprint as they make up the two 50 counters, one showing 50, the other the khamsun symbol. These counters flank the seated woman with trident at center. The reverse shows the Goddess Athena. Excellent detail throughout the note with an intricate design free of distraction.
Estimate: $12500.00- $15000.00
