PORTUGUESE INDIA. Banco Nacional Ultramarino. 100 Rupias, 1924. P-29s. Specimen. PMG Uncirculated 62 Net. Previously Mounted, Small Internal Tear.
Jhun 12.19.1. Printed by TDLR. A high denomination, seldom seen 100 Rupias. Bright purple and yellow hues with great embossing noticed. PMG comments "Previously Mounted, Small Internal Tear." The internal tear mentioned barely reaches the border on the face and when flipped over is very far from the back design. This is a remarkable example and one of only three certified on the PMG census. This variety shows with "SPECIMEN" printed across the face of the note diagonally where the ever popular "Elephant" vignette can be seen. Partial mounting still attached on back right. The reverse is printed in dark purple ink, and displays a ship at center with bank name at top & bottom, with "100" counters at left and right. PMG's pop report lists a scant six examples of this pick variety to have been graded by their service.
