German East Africa Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Bank 500 Rupien 2.9.1912 Pick 5 PMG Fine 12. One of colonial Africa's most iconic banknotes, of which very few have survived to be enjoyed today. The highest denomination of the series, which lead most of this beautiful banknotes to be redeemed a century ago, when German East Africa was absorbed by the British after the conclusion of World War I. Of note, this example is serial number 318 for the series. Splits and ink are noted on this otherwise decent example. Only the second example we have offered. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/german-east-africa-deutsch-ostafrikanische-bank-500-rupien-291912-pick-5-pmg-fine-12/a/4015-28405.s?type=CoinArchivesCurrency4015 HID08706262019 © 2019 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
