Ethiopia Bank of Abyssinia 100 Thalers ND (1915-29) Pick 4cts1; 4cts2 Front and Back Color Trial Specimen PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 (2). A handsome and very rare denomination, this Color Trial Specimen was created for the Bank of Abyssinia. This stunning, large format type is especially desirable in two uniface pieces, which allows for optimal viewing of all design elements. Although both pieces were previously mounted, the overall eye appeal is still excellent. Bank of Abyssinia issued banknotes and Specimen were withdrawn and discarded when the Bank of Ethiopia opened for business in 1932. PMG mentions both the face and back impressions have been previously mounted and that the face impression has "as-made" paper wrinkles and a foreign substance present. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/ethiopia-bank-of-abyssinia-100-thalers-nd-1915-29-pick-4cts1-4cts2-front-and-back-color-trial-specimen-pmg-choi/a/4025-28258.s?type=CoinArchivesCurrency4025 HID08706262019 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
