SARAWAK. Government of Sarawak. 25 Dollars, 1st July 1929. P-17. PMG Very Fine 20 Net. Restoration.
KNB23a. A unique opportunity to acquire one of the most rare and sought after pieces in the Sarawak catalog. This BWC note is seldom offered in any form, and it is the first time we have offered it at this venue. The note shows Charles Vyner Brooke at center, flanks by palm trees in the vignettes on each side of center. Its vibrant blue color found on a light multi-colored underprint displaying an intricate guilloche design. Government building pictured on the reverse. Merely a restoration mentioned which appears to be minor as it cannot be noticed without close inspection as the bold blue inks stand out most on this well centered design.
Estimate: $10000.00- $12000.00
