Ethiopia Bank of Abyssinia 50 Thalers ND (1915-1929) Picks 3cts1; 3cts2 Front and Back Color Trial Specimen PMG Choice Uncirculated 64; Choice Uncirculated 64 Net. A stunning and rare pair of uniface Proofs, and an excellent comparison piece to the other 50 Thalers we are offering today. Bank of Abyssinia types are notoriously rare, as almost every issued banknote was redeemed beginning in 1931. Virtually all Specimen were discarded when the Bank of Abyssinia was sold. In 1932, the Bank of Ethiopia opened, and new types began to circulate. The uniface Color Trials offered here are visually stunning, and quite choice. Both were previously mounted. The back trial has minor tears and printer annotations, which are mentioned for accuracy. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/ethiopia-bank-of-abyssinia-50-thalers-nd-1915-1929-picks-3cts1-3cts2-front-and-back-color-trial-specimen-pmg-choice/p/4028-56042.s?type=CoinArchivesCurrency4028 HID08706262019 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
