Ethiopia Bank of Abyssinia 50 Thalers ND (1915-1929) Picks 3cts1; 3cts2 Front and Back Color Trial Specimens PMG Choice Uncirculated 64; Choice Uncirculated 64 Net. A stunning and rare pair of uniface proofs, and an excellent comparison piece to the other 50 Thalers we are offering today. Bank of Abyssinia types are notoriously rare, as almost every issued banknote was redeemed beginning in 1931. Virtually all Specimens were discarded when the Bank of Abyssinia was sold. In 1932, the Bank of Ethiopia opened, and the new types began to circulate. The uniface Color Trials offered here are visually stunning, and quite choice. Both were previously mounted, and the back trial has minor tears and printer annotations, which are mentioned for accuracy. Not to be missed. From the Yuri Solovey Collection of Maghreb and Levant https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/ethiopia-bank-of-abyssinia-50-thalers-nd-1915-1929-picks-3cts1-3cts2-front-and-back-color-trial-specimens-pmg-c/a/4015-28056.s?type=CoinArchivesCurrency4015 HID08706262019 © 2019 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
