PORTUGUESE INDIA. Banco Nacional Ultramarino. 50 Rupias, 1938. P-34. PMG Very Fine 25.
This extremely rare and coveted type is virtually impossible to find and is currently one of only two examples in issued form certified by PMG. We offered an extremely circulated and problematic example which was nearly destroyed that fetched over $7,500 nearly 4 years ago. We therefore imagine this extremely pleasing example will fetch a new record. This treasure is without question one of the most heavily sought after designs in the hobby with a giant elephant pictured at center. Some minor wear that experts will confirm is typical for the type, but otherwise bold impressions and deep blue ink throughout. PMG Very Fine 25.
Estimate: $20000.00- $30000.00
