Martinique Caisse Centrale de la France Libre 1000 Francs 1941 (ND 1944-47) Pick 22b Stamped Cancelled PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. This handsome, large format banknote is especially desirable due to its interesting, phoenix theme. Of interest, there are two varieties of this Martinique emission: the first with one red overprint "Martinique" at top-center of front, and the second, which has three red "Martinique" overprints. This variety, with one overprint, is exceedingly rare, as only 1,200 banknotes were prepared in this manner. Red cancellations are present on both sides of the note. Totally original and Uncirculated paper indicates that this specific banknote may have been unissued, as this grade is seldom seen for this highest-denomination type. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/martinique-caisse-centrale-de-la-france-libre-1000-francs-1941-nd-1944-47-pick-22b-stamped-cancelled-pmg-choice/a/4025-28484.s?type=CoinArchivesCurrency4025 HID08706262019 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
