Watch List notes:

Nicaragua, Banco Central, 10 cordobas front and back presentation essays, 27-4-1972, in American Bank Note Company presentation case, very rare, ex-Rudman. SCWPM-123 (type of). Very rare and possibly unique artist's model for the proposed design of Nicaragua's 1972-dated 10 cordobas note, created using mixed media with pasted-on text and design elements over India paper essays. There is some variation from the final design that was printed by Thomas de la Rue & Company (SCWPM-123), particularly with different renderings of both front and back vignettes plus changes in the underprints, borders, and denominators. Gem UNC, basically as made though the series pieces are missing. The model design is well protected by the hardback official ABNCo case which bears the inscription "Property of the American Bank Note Company New York." Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet.
