East Africa East African Currency Board 1000 Shillings = 50 Pounds 15.12.1921 Pick 18 PMG Choice Very Fine 35. Tiny serial number, 00025, and the A/1 prefix add interest to this rare, high denomination type. These represented an enormous sum of money at the time, explaining why so few were issued and why almost all were redeemed decades ago. When this note was first issued in 1921, Mombasa was the main city in East Africa, predating Nairobi. Only moderate circulation is seen on this handsome, larger sized note. All details are visible on both sides. Minor edge restoration is mentioned for accuracy. A very rare type, as so few are extant. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/east-africa-east-african-currency-board-1000-shillings-50-pounds-15121921-pick-18-pmg-choice-very-fine-35/p/4028-12001.s?type=CoinArchivesCurrency4028 HID08706262019 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
