PMG's pop report states this note is the sole example to have been encapsulated by their service, which is a testament to its rarity, and is sure to attract spirited bidding from collectors. This high denomination 1000 Francs note retains good color and intricate details for the assigned grade. It seems the engraver was heavily influenced by ancient mythology, as if the designs and characters were pulled from the Palace of Knossos itself to grace this large format Madagascar note. PMG comments "Tears, Pinholes." PMG Pop 1/None Finer.
Estimate: $8000.00- $10000.00
